Def Leppard are touring next year which includes festival dates too…

Bore off. 
Well if it is Metallica/BMTH/Metallica and then Def Leppard I can either leave (which is unlikely as I’ll be going with a pal who believes music died in 1989) or I can go sleep early Sunday so I can prepare myself for the slog on Monday morning to take all the gear back to the car. 
This is off course unless there is someone of interest elsewhere.

i believe The Stadium tour will stick to...stadiums. maybe a few festivals in Europe, kinda like what Hella Mega did, but i don't see Def Lep and Crüe playing next year

[gabrielomachado]

it's mental that Biffy headlined almost every festival on UK, including Download twice and people are saying that they "still have to proof themselves as worthy headliners"

Thank ****

[gabrielomachado]

i really doubt Leppard and Crüe can even sell well a single stadium in UK

So where are we thinking the Def Leppard stadium show will be? Knebworth, Wembley Stadium or Grimsby Town's ground?

Honestly, I’m expecting places like Doncaster, Middlesbrough and Norwich. Maybe Hull, Huddersfield?

I have to admit, given Def Leppard sometimes struggle to sell out arenas on a co-headline package, you'll be looking at some pretty small stadiums.

But who knows!

Probably Swansea or Cardiff /Anfield/Huddersfield/London Stadium

London Stadium is way too ambitious as that is where the real stadium bands play. MK stadium for the “London” date if their stadium tour is a real thing.

Selling out MK is still reasonably good going.

Prediction:

Metallica (Kill em all) w/ Parkway Subbing
BMTH w/ Architects subbing
Metallica (Greatest Hits) w/ Alter Bridge subbing
Rage against the machine w/ Limp Bizkit subbing

Seeing as I'm 5 minutes away I really hope it's Grimsby 🤣

Rarely see Paramore mentioned as a headliner shout, surely they're overdue by now?

 Not for the 20th but they should be in the pool

Worth is the wrong wording, it's suitability. No one is saying they shouldn't headline any festival.

No BMTH so I'd be inclined to leave this.

They're headlining APE again to 4k people who all got free tickets if they promised to buy some hotdogs and merch. 🤣 Seriously though even if all those above are available, Cupping is likely to save on costs by getting a cheaper headliner. I'd love it to be true but I fear you may get your wish this time round.

[jump]

That Bring Me line up at APE was fucking amazing though. IDLES, Run The Jewels, While She Sleeps, Never Not Nothing/Black Futures, Architects, Nothing But Theives, Lotus Eater. It was the best £4.50 I've ever spent!

They've since sold out a 60,000+ arena tour so your obsession with that show doesn't need to be so burning 🙂
