An arena act who is headlining IOW on the dance stage just isn't happening 

Unless they split the crowd but putting them up against Blink? Otherwise, I agree,they aren’t playing in the Dance tent.

What are the chances of Sleep Token? Can’t see them being added to Download now.. 

Incredibly slim as they played 2023. I still expect them to be announced for Download. If not, then UK arena tour in the Autumn. Can't see them not capitalising unless they're just knackered or don't want to push themselves too hard on the audience.

If there's any UK festivals next year I expect them to be headlining 2000 trees.

It's the last chance they have to book them before they're too big, and I'm sure they'd like a chance to headline. Download doesn't really have a spot big enough for them.

Sleepy T to headline Trees this summer, do a winter arena tour (including the O2) and then sub the Main Stage at DL25. That’s my guess for their plans.

Apparently the ATG/Trees organisers neither can afford Sleep Token nor want to book them. 
 

They booked them for ATG back in 2019 so who knows.

Yeah I can see Sleep Token already being out of their price range given how quickly they’ve shot up over the last year.

Can also understand them not wanting to book them because Sleep Token are dogshit.

One of my fav bands, I love them. But some of the new fans that have joined since The Summoning released certainly wouldn’t fit with the vibe of the fest. Can perfectly understand why they wouldn’t want to book them.

Tidy little run. I'd have that.

A post on reddit states that they work within event production and an artist has 1Xtra Stage down as an upcoming booking behind the scenes. If they were combining stages to create the bigger tent, I dont know why 1Xtra would stay.

I can only imagine they’d rebrand the dance tent, it’s the only one remotely big enough to remodel as a multi-genre big tent

would make sense, it was sort of like that on the Saturday in 2022 with pendulum, tai verdes and Madison beer all being on the stage on the stage somehow

Korn doing some outdoor shows in August with Spiritbox playing with them in London. Get them on Blink-Prodigy-Spiritbox day and I'll slam my credit card down for a day ticket.

I would of thought that they would substitute 2 of the smaller tents (dance/1xtra or comedy/1xtra) in replacement for a stage the original size of R1, leaving space still for the two main stage set up.

These shows make KoRn almost certainly unavailable for R&L.

I'd say that show being announced makes the chance of them at the festival virtually non existent

Especially the Halifax show. Would love it if they were on the lineup though.

Could we see an announcement towards January payday seeing as the initial announcement was earlier than usual or do you think the usual February announcement is still most likely for the poster?

Possibly so.

[wghennessy]

They need to announce something...there doesnt seem to be any buzz for it at all.

Fontaines DC playing a festival in Turkey 20th August. Surely a shoe in for reading

Given two of these three shows are Halifax and Scarborough, which aren't all that far from Leeds, that's my instinct as well.

[Andre91]

Denzel for third down Main Blink day, I reckon. 

Blink-182 / The Prodigy / Denzel Curry / Spiritbox

Thoughts? Seen on FB. Feels too strong imo

Way too strong. Looks like one of those mental T in the Park posters from like 15 years ago where they had Beyonce opening the Introducing stage or whatever

The Hives are a UK exclusive performance supporting Bloc Party so a definite fake.
