That's what I thought. But one of the major leakers says they think this will be it. 

Any other bands been leaked then?

That day has BMTH / Architects / Evanescence / Pendulum pretty much nailed on and I would bet you can probably see all 4 if you get your running shoes on. 

Great news about architects and pendulum assuming they don't clash in any way

Architects are a bit setlist dependant currently as they seem to love going new album heavy which I'm not into 

Throw in Parkway drive and polaris and it's a great day for me

Architects have said that they will be playing material from all albums they’ve released since they last played (2013) and they’ve been playing some older tracks like These Colours Don’t Run, Gravedigger, Broken Cross and more tracks from All Our Gods… in Europe so I’m hopeful about the setlist. 
 

Parkway Drive are playing the Sunday, below Slipknot.

Would be very happy if we got the majority of that. Have we fully ruled out Alter Bridge? I know that the leaker said that we shouldn’t expect them to sub but I’ve noticed that they’re 3rd down at Hellfest (albeit under a co-headline construct) so I wondered if they’d be taking lower slot these days

They fell of a bit but they played 3rd down on Hellfest in 2017 as well, they are bigger in UK than in Europe, however i dont see them taking anything less than sub

They could headline second stage in the Thursday.

Are we fully ruling out MGK taking a 3rd down slot? He’s played DL before and has a couple of slots free to play (Thurs,Fri or Sunday I believe)

He's subheadliner level so, if he's free Thursday, it's not ruled out, way more likely to be Alter Bridge though

The backlash if they book him to sub Metallica would be Pantera level.

Nah, despite the people (me) that can't stand him, he's got a big following and plenty of the people there would watch. It'd just be Die Antwoord again where you saw and heard a lot of "fuck Die Antwoord" around the campsites

Don't think it's him though. Pretty confident Alter Bridge and FFDP will be the remaining subs.

[JSmurphy]

There's the Thursday Metallica sub then.

[BenG92]

Halestorm > Alter Bridge > Metallica as expected

[49Lawson]

That’s not even subtle is it? Increases the chance of Mammoth WVH too you’d imagine. Very happy with that as I’ve never actually managed to see Alter Bridge yet

[Spiral_Low]

Machine Head just announced for a US festival in mid-May. Be surprised if they do Euro fests this year but at least it means they are doing fests again.

Also saw Katatonia on Sunday and occurred to me that they might be announced, are doing a couple fests in the the weeks after (Graspop etc).

Sounds reasonable.

Priest will just be happy to be anywhere in Europe.

Good addition that, saw them in a pub at a day festival in Stockton last year and was one of the most intense gigs I was at in the last 12 months

The Mars Volta haven't got any UK dates.

They're perhaps not best suited at Download, but are doing Primavera Madrid, and Best Kept Secret on the Thursday and Friday so would be free on the Saturday & Sunday. 

I can't think of any other UK festivals around the time of them touring that they might slot on to.

If they play any UK shows, I'm cancelling all my plans and going. No matter if it's Cornwall or the Orkney Islands
