They'll probably get that reunion hype slot but then The Distillers had that and didn't make it past 4th main stage. I don't think Mudvayne were any bigger here.

With Megadeth confirmed as headlining second it would be tricky to slot them in assuming Killswitch are also returning, but I guess it could be something like: Friday: Kiss, A Day to Remember, the Offspring Second: Megadeth, the Distillers Saturday: Maiden, Deftones, Gojira Second: Killswitch Engage, Mastodon Sunday: Biffy Clyro, Korn, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes Second: Steel Panther, the Darkness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADTR and them that day is zero chance. The Offspring were booked opposite KISS in 2020 for a reason. I'm think Slam Dunk may have offered them a big slot.

I was slightly forgetting I think that Korn are likely to be under Biffy Clyro as that's where I'd have them. A run of Rise Against, Volbeat, The Offspring and Biffy makes too much sense. Korn under KISS would work given Megadeth are 2nd stage headliners. The Offspring tour is way too big to be down in 3rd. It is a sub tour but I feel Slam Dunk may have got them topping the main stage. To be honest they should be looking at booking a bigger act now for there given you are paying £82.50 before postage for a day ticket.

Deftones are subbing Maiden as confirmed by Andy, Korn are subbing Biffy because they're playing elsewhere on the Friday. If Offspring are playing they're either subbing Kiss, headlining second instead of Killswitch or they're playing third down on the main stage.

Ah yes I think I saw that about Korn at Nova or something. I'm going for Slam Dunk headliner then. It's about time they did it to be fair. But enough about Slam Dunk in here.

Not heard the rest yet. I'm hoping Sunday Download has 3rd stage finish before closing headliner. Rise Against, Volbeat, Descendants and Biffy Clyro would be mega. Just stick The Menzingers and Andrew WK further down on that day and I'd be happy. Although tbh, it's the first time there is a slight chance of me being there for the weekend. Had The Offspring been booked back to headline Friday Other then I think I would as I'd have had incentive for two days. I think they have said no to Zippo headliner and rightly so based on the average tour the bands do topping them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend listening to the album On The Impossible Past from start to finish; it’s unbelievable. I’d then do the same for After The Party which is just as fantastic. They’re the last band I saw before the world stopped. What a band. You, at a festival, for the weekend!?

Bloodstock need to do the right thing and get them in a headline slot next August. People would moan but as soon as the start playing, they’d be losing their heads. One of the ultimate party bands.

Must be feeling a bit nippy down in hell 😛 I don't dislike them but they just aren't on a must see. Well it does happen at Glastonbury but honestly what else is there bar Reading and Download that just don't cater now and much like for the Kendall's etc, I just don't see it happening or I'd prioritise over it. Maybe Victorious one year but in fairness I did festivals yearly between Glastonbury 2008 and TITP 2013. Plus I've continued to do Glastonbury. I did Coachella, Glastonbury and TITP in 2013 and I think that was the year it was too much. I started preferring days and the cost started getting too much, the lineups lacking quality and not worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately rock band wise, most of who I like I see based on their older output. When it gets to a point a set includes more new than old I tend to not bother with their tours. Luckily at festivals you know what you're getting generally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have Megadeth done exactly to move up the lineup? If they're booking Architects, book them as the sub. An odd fit under Kiss? Sure, but let them blow Kiss off the stage & prove to everyone that newer bands should be taking those high slots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the faces of the deck chair crew waiging for God Gave Rock N Roll To You when Sam breaks into Nihilist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
