Same. But would need to know that at least Dogtooth would be cashing with main headliners to have an alternative. 

2008 actually had a fair bit for me.

don't see why Green Day are ruled out. They are clearly doing late summer dates in US because of Smashing Pumpkins who are touring in june 

 

also think that they are bringing SP to support in headline dates around Europe, that's why they are doing UK with Weezer

 

if anything this announcement made it clear to me that Green Day are doing a UK festival next summer instead of another stadium run

Green Day are doing a UK stadium tour ruling them completely out of Download.

They're not doing a stadium tour, they just did one last year so it's likely festivals next year

That's not been confirmed anywhere. The poster said EU/UK you're next, which could mean "your dates are coming next."

That's all it means, the UK/EU is next to be announced and given the timing it's probably festivals

On a side note, I get that gigs are expensive these days but £150 for Cardiff Castle for The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer is just insane. Other venues are way cheaper (though still like £85 which is alot) I don't get why the dramatic increase just cuz of the venue. 

[Mammothmonprophecies]

At this stage I’ll be shocked if any leak is correct but if the current one pans out I’ll be disappointed honestly been a fan of all 3 at times and FOB will be a laugh, but A7X seem iffy live z& the new album was what it was, queens while technically good live and some decent tunes, but bland aren’t they 

[Hazz]

Any idea when the next announcement is?

The tickets for Cardiff Castle were £82.50 similar to the other venues but it seems to have pretty much sold out and so the increased prices you’re seeing are dynamic pricing or resellers at work.

Fall out boy is a headliner possibility????? Come on.... That is a third o fourth level band.

Hope: Pearl jam, Qotsa, the strokes, foo fighters, the cure. Please god, something good

FOB have sold out a tour as big as Blink’s well in advance.

Only Download fans could call a band who have sold 100k+ tickets ‘weak’. 
 

See you down the front for Saturday, fools.

This is a ridiculous take. They're a solid arena level band.

Given they were sub headlining last time they played they're a headliner. No chance of the Foo Fighters as they have a stadium tour with a date directly on Download weekend

No they didn't, they said stadium tour of the UK. Don't try and make it into your own words in the hope they are playing a festival they do not need to ever play.

Direct quote from the article...

“A string of stadium level gigs have been lined up over the summer - it’s going to be huge.”

To put it a bit more blunt for you guys to understand. A string or stadium or stadium levels gigs rules them out of download!
