QOTSA are worthy of a headline slot.

Interesting that QOTSA aren't a headliner. Maybe Download has done some magic and have Foo's with QOTSA subbing?

No. Foos are doing a string of stadium dates. 
 

QOTSA will be headlining the second main stage at HF anyway. 

[Andre91]

Bad Omens also at HF.

There is no point during the Foo Fighters tour that they are doing 2 nights in a row, and doing Download would mean 3 nights in a row, so I think that shows they won't be.

They sell less than Metallica, BMTH and Slipknot. So if they do headline it's deffo a downgrade on this year in that regard.

First Hellfest announcement puts some names in the frame, and first sighting of QOTSA I think?

From this the QOTSA rumour seems possible, I’m just hoping they’re in a sub/second slot with something exciting to follow
Would not be shocked to see Offspring, Bad Omens, Megadeth, Bruce & even babymetal all making appearances 

[Andre91]

I think people should just accept this as proof that QOTSA are one of Download’s headliners. 

[callum97]

QOTSA to headline 

Offspring and Megadeth to headline second 

baby metal and bad omens both on main stage 

Can’t see Royal Blood being there 

[callum97]

I’m banking in on the trio of FOB / A7X / QOTSA 

[wro_lap]

QOTSA are probably a similar size (well, slightly smaller) than BMTH and both totally worthy headliners. Could see them being announced after their tour with The Chats next month?

There are obviously big bands being held back, because Hellfest only announced one of their 4 headliners.

I think they’ll be announced before in quite rare fashion. 

[callum97]

Do we think FOB will be the sat headliner? I’d say they are by far the biggest out of all of them….

Yeah, I'd guess QOTSA/FOB/Avenged

I think it will be something like:

QOTSA/Royal Blood/Alice In Chains

Megadeth

FOB/The Offspring/Sum 41

Pantera

Avenged/Machine Head/Bad Omens

Alice Cooper

This isn't Slam Dunk

[Nice to Michu]

Are Queens Of The Stone Age even that big? None of the tour has sold out apart from Bournemouth which is a small venue, when you consider Bring Me are selling out 2 nights at the O2.

Multiple arena tours, played Finsbury, headlined Reading in 2014 and were due to headline again in 2021 and also headlined the other stage at Glasto. They are capable of

It’s all well and good playing multiple arena tours but if you don’t sell them shows out tells me there isn’t much of a demand for that band, we had people disputing if Fall Out Boy could headline when they’ve sold out every date on their upcoming UK arena tour.

They are not the biggest headliner on the table i agree but still big enough, even if they don't sell out every arena they play

Not anywhere near as big as BMTH. Saying that as someone who isn't a fan of BMTH.
