So that surely means Alice Cooper, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41 and Against The Current are not at Download. Machine Head can only be Sunday and to be honest fit under A7X. Corey Taylor, Billy Talent, Mudvayne are either Saturday or Sunday.

I hope I'm wrong

Plenty of bands do back to back dates in different countries. 

You're not wrong . But I honestly think I'm right .in Europe it's easier to travel then coming from a European country into UK.  I hope I'm wrong though

hahaha that's really sad. Don't think any other festival in Europe will cry if they don't get FOB

If this ends up being the case I can only imagine that FOB weren’t the first choice and that Download had to offer them a pretty sweet deal when approaching them after choice #1 fell through and being left with very few other options.

I still think SOAD would be the more likely for a band doing a one off European show. It's pretty clear Serj is up for the odd show but not a full tour. Maybe even come over and do Download - Graspop - Hellfest and done.

I can see them doing this exact run with Nova added to it on a year when Graspop and Hellfest are the same weekend again or Rock AM/IM - Nova - Download. Just won't be this year.

On FOB, the fests they are likely to do other than DL are Rock for People, Wertcher, Pinkpop, Roskilde, etc. hardly surprising we haven't seen them yet. Only Rock for People have announced anything yet and they have loads left to drop.

I reckon ACDC, Avenged and Rammstein tbh. I say acdc cause they've only ever played their once back in 2010 and avenged again only ever headlined twice aswell and theirs a gap in their tour for nxt yr too along with Rammstein they've got a gap aswell even tho they've headlined twice it would still be amazing to see them headline again. Possibility bringing their own stage set up like acdc did back in 2010.

 Controversial as it sounds system of a down do not deserve a headliner slot in 2024 . They’ve had no new material in 10 years and haven’t toured in forever . Sorry folks that ship has sailed

Absolutely zero chance of AC/DC or Rammstein I'm afraid. It's a huge shame of course but definitely isn't happening

All im going to say to everyone replying to my post is " nobody knows and anything is possible, instead of us going back and forth saying this band isn't gonna be their, that band isn't blah blah blah. Shall we all just wait till Tuesday morning and find out together.

We know Rammstein aren’t playing.

Theirs a gap in their tour dates which lines up with download, so they could possibly be announced.

I know but they've already said they've announced all their European dates. This means they're not announcing any other dates for Europe and won't be playing Download.

It's also a stadium tour so they're only playing stadiums not festivals.

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
