A7X will definitely headline 2024. And they've always sucked.

Naaaah. They’ve got some untouchable albums. The last one was brilliant. He sounds like he’s sat down for a shit and got his scrotum stuck between the seat on this new track, though. He doesn’t sound a million miles away from modern day Axl Rose. It’s guff. 

[gabrielomachado]

for me at this moment A7X, My Chemical Romance and Tool are pretty nailed on as the headliner trio, unless reading is getting MCR

 

hope they keep with the fresh undercard from 2023, would love to see some Turnstile, Sleep Token, Don Broco and Spiritbox taking logo spots

[JimMacVeigh]

New A7X track is a big dud. Not impressed.

Won't be Tool. They'll play their next album launch, all jokes aside regarding that being 20 years away.

I'll give them another try at some point in the future, just never did a thing for me, but I'll admit it's been years. 

[Alex Winstone]

After seeing them last night really hope Don Broco and Papa Roach play main stage next year really good sets

[Jericode]

Yeah both of them killed it, so glad I finally got to tick Papa Roach off the list.

RATM out for 2024 because there is still no talks about new tour?

Now that AC/DC are evidently back, I can see 2024 being something like

A7X / AC/DC / Gojira

Save some money for AC/DC giving Gojira the headline bump early. Returning head, legendary head, new head. 

Then again AC/DC do not need Download at all, they can fill stadiums on their own.

Love Gojira, but they’d be a fairly weak sub at this point so no chance they’re getting the headliner bump, even as a smaller option. 

Also don’t see AC/DC coming back myself, as much as Download needs it. 

A7X, MCR, Tool seems the obvious bet at this point given who we know will probably still be touring, but could see somebody else (no idea who) coming out of the woodworks to take Tool’s place. 

[Andre91]

Gojira ain’t headlining Download any time soon. They’d make a great sub for sure but they’re way off being the size DL looks at for headliners.

 

I think it’ll be A7X and MCR for sure. The last? If RATM are about, that makes all the sense. Tool coming to Europe would make them likely too (if they are). I don’t think we can count Rammstein our either. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them do a European festival run after a few years of doing their own stadium shows.

Aye I wouldn't normally put Gojira there yet either, but if they wanted to pull out the stops for AC/DC they might have to downsize on another day. Dunno. I feel like they managed to bag them in 2010 purely because they were filming a DVD on their own stage and didn't even want to be on the t-shirts, so Andy still had the budget for Rage and Aerosmith. All of this is headcanon obviously, I don't have a scooby doo. In reality I don't think it'll be AC/DC. 

It won't be Tool again until their new album, all jokes aside. Only two occasions they've done Download has been a new album cycle. Don't get me wrong, man with Lateralus avatar will be all over it, but I can't see it.

Machine Head just had to drop off a entire US tour due to visa issues. From a band that "changed their minds" and are doing festivals again, i can say they are nailed on to play next year

Sleep Token / Beartooth 

The Interrupters

Blink-182 / Enter Shikari / Turnstile / The Pretty Reckless / Creeper / Knocked Loose / Cassyette 

Trivium / Mudvayne

I just can’t see System back any time soon. Others have pointed out that their Vegas show will be the most phoned in, half arsed set ever. 

[Andre91]

Greta Van Fleet are playing a massive tour, including Wembley, Hydro and Manchester Arena so I think they’re a safe bet to be a sub headliner next year. That tour easily makes them big enough. 

[Hart Attack]

Potential headliners...

• AC/DC
• Aerosmith
• Avenged Sevenfold
• Blink-182
• Def Leppard
• Fall Out Boy
• Foo Fighters
• Green Day
• Guns N Roses
• Muse
• My Chemical Romance
• Nine Inch Nails
• Rammstein
• System Of A Down
• Tool

Any other suggestions?

Not really the scene anymore but if download wanted a female headliner they could go with Paramore

Tbh they would’ve been a tough sell back when they were more pop/punk but they’ve strayed so far from that sound now that they wouldn’t fit in at Download at all these days. Gotta be a strong possibility they’re at Reading/Leeds next year though you’d have thought.

I think they will be at R&L.

Shame really that they’ll be put on the second main stage with a tiny crowd.

On a side note, the new album, This is Why, is so so good.

If they play, they headline Main Stage East. This tour is massive and sold out.

Greta Van Fleet should headline...
