If it's correct it's every single logo band right? That's very unusual. Though given how weak the headliners are maybe they feel they have to. 

It's not every logo act

Are you sure? I count 21 which is same as 2022 and normal years.

Who’s the band next to Bowling For Soup? And are Bad Omens that big for a 3rd down main stage slot?

Heilung and yes, they are

[gabrielomachado]

i believe Heilung are even big enough to sub second at a push, Polyphia must be headlining Avalanche. People are really understimating the size of those bands

I think it's possible some may just be somewhere on main or 2nd as there are quite a few bands big enough to headline dogtooth

Don’t talk about underestimating sizes of bands when half the people on here questioned Fall Out Boy headlining after just shifting 100K tickets, same with I Prevail last year people questioned if they were big enough to play 3rd down after selling out an academy run and Wembley Arena, I have no idea how big Bad Omens are over here have they done a full size academy run even?

Me being blind here, but who are the logos next to bowling for soup, & below the used?

The only thing that makes me think it isn’t real is I would have bet my next mortgage payment Avril Lavigne was there. Think it’s fairly solid if not spectacular though 

Yeah Avril was virtually ruled out as soon as Nova announced her. Czech Republic to Austria to Download the very next day would be overkill. 3 festival in 5 days in 3 different countries and Austria to Download flying isn't that straight forward.

R&L on the Blink day would be my bet - more fitting there than Download, even if Download is having a ‘softer’ year. 

Yeah this is my bet along with a Glastonbury spot. I've never thought oh Avril would be a booking Download would make.

I'd be a bit surprised if Sum 41 played but there is nothing based on predicitons to get me to attend Sunday for the benefit of it.

[Andre91]

Main subs: Royal Blood, The Offspring, Pantera 

 

3rd main: Bad Omens, Sum 41, While She Sleeps 

 

Opus headliners: Machine Head, Corey Taylor, Babymetal

 

Opus subs: Heilung, Billy Talent, Bowling For Soup 

 

Avalanche: Polyphia, Thy Art Is Murder, The Used 

 

Dogtooth: The Black Dahlia Murder, Biohazard, Fear Factory

 

These are my guesses. 

[Spiral_Low]

Chinstrap looks to hav confirmed it on official forums (given his credibility from leaking last year).

If so it's not for me. Hope Machine Head do their own dates too. ArcTanGent announcement was disappointing too so maybe a festival free year. 

[LazyDavid]

That line up overall is just not for me unfortunately, hope 2000 Trees gets 2 more decent headliners and think I'll be there

I'd be going to Trees if I hadn't got earlybird

He said ‘Who’s been a naughty boy then?’ and then liked my post saying I love the lineup and hope it’s legit.

That pretty much confirms it then which is good 

[Heyzoos]

Interesting that Lonely the Brave have commented "Hi🙋🔥" on Download's Instagram Post about tomorrow's announcement. I believe the leak but seems odd seeing as they're not on the poster.

[Spiral_Low]

Just remembered (and checked on Google) that there was talk of Slipknot doing a world tour in 2024. I think maybe they do a Knotfest UK with either Judas Priest or Korn as sub, plus a number of the bands doing the festival circuit that are apparantly missing from Download and not at Bloodstock. Kreator, Behemoth, Mudvayne and Satyricon for example. I obvs mentioned before I suspected it and when you see bands doing the circuit missing from both Download and Bloodstock it seems feasible.

Also surprised In Flames and Lamb Of God not announced for any fests yet. If multiple Knotfests happen I think they'd be ideal to play. I don't think Coal Chamber announced anything in Europe yet either?

Slipknot, Judas Priest, Lamb Of God, In Flames, Kreator, Coal Chamber, Mudvayne and Behemoth all in one day would pack out MK Bowl.

I would do that as well as Download. Maybe drop Judas Priest and add Sleep Token and Electric Callboy, though.
