Ghost into Metallica or Ghost on 2nd stage against BMTH makes most sense to me.

Disagree. Ghost should stay away until they’re asked to headline. Otherwise they risk slipping into the sub forever category.

No other second stage headliner plays the O2 and Manchester Arena. It’s an insult to Ghost suggesting them for that slot.

Hmm yeah you’re probably right. It shouldn’t have to be that way though. Copping just has no balls tbh.

Fake apparently. Was weird as media reported it but tickets did not come on sale on date(s) they said and and band have said nothing about it. Their main fan site has said it's fake.

Also if you hoping for Download they wouldn't do stadiums and festivals in the same summer, their setup wouldn't work for that. It would be one or the other.

Tbf Manson in his prime would have put on a banging show as a headline act. Been washed for years now.

Manson was a co-headlined tour with Rob Zombie where Rob was the one to play last.

Apparently the two of them hated each other on that tour.

Brilliant. Although Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater clashing with Enter Shikari and BMTH for me is a ballache. Probably not a clash for many but it is for me haha.

I reckon Muse will headline, new album etc.

Their new single is my favourite Muse song since 2007. Idk how well it'd be recieved but I would be well up for an Origin of Symmetry 25th Anniversary (fucking hell, 25 years, I know) set in 2026. The album was released in June so might coincide perfectly.  

Still going for Metallica x2, BMTH & Slipknot for next year though.

There’s been an OOS gig already in 2011, what we need is 20 years of Absolution which ties in with next year. Said this on the DL forum but I’d love the rumoured two set band to be Muse. 20 years of Abso+b sides/deep cuts on the first set and WOTP + Hits on the second.

Absolution would be just as good if not better, great album. Was lucky enough to attend Muse's gig at Shepherd's Bush in 2017 and that setlist was soooo good.

I was at that gig, absolutely immense!!! Lost my sh*r when they played ‘Easily’.

I’d love to see them back but I just don’t think next year will be the one, far more likely for R+L. There’s a part of me wondering if they will show up there for a secret set this year considering the album is released that weekend but it’s just wishful thinking.

The most painful part is that I remember an interview around 2020 where Matt said they might do something special to mark 20 years of OoS, but obviously with lockdowns/gigs getting cancelled left right and centre nothing ever materialised 😞

I might be wrong/confused but I think he said that would be stateside shows as they’d already done OoS in full at R+L before.

That gig was magical at SBE though. My missus had dumped me literally that morning and I was bummed out and went along and to see them drop ‘Easily’ and ‘Glorious’ soon got me out of my funk lol.

Given I’ll have seen BMTH and Enter Shikari at Leeds this year I’d probably opt for Procupine Tree (especially if it’s a short lived reunion) and Dream Theater.

Dream Theater is defo set-dependent. The setlist on the most recent tour didn't blow me away so I didn't go. However the tours before they did Metropolis in full/Images in full, plus some great extras each time. Seeing PT in November and they could play anything and I'll be happy
