Opens Biffy up for a few other shows this summer, with any luck.

 

Although, from the way Simon talked about it in Halifax last year, I assumed the new record would land in the spring and that they might have done arenas through May. Never materialised of course, so would wager an autumn run is on the cards.

If Deftones are indeed around, I can see them being one - unless they are tapped up to top next year.

 

Biffy a very good shout, given I don't think they'll headline in 2026, and it allows them to boast about having an existing headliner.

Is it out of the question that they could do a secret set AND play next year?

Thing is though, Biffy secret set at Download isn't something people want. On the whole, Biffy isn't wanted at Download and they are definitely a band where the crowd votes with their feet.

I'm being a bit optimistic with SOAD but I think from now on download will only splash the cash on one headliner like Green Day this year.

Worth noting currently Architects are only selling the bottom level for their show at O2 Arena, makes it a similar size to Wembley Arena if I'm not mistaken

They aren't selling the Manchester date well at all either current. Standing easily available. Much easier to get from Brighton direct to London too. The tickets prices for those tickets are also well below anyone else taking them on. I'd be amazed if they were chosen to headline next year currently whether it was with two big options or not.

Architects prices being north of fifty quid was silly to me, to be frank, but they appear to have mostly shifted the lower tier at Co-op Live now.

It's only like £57 though. I dont think it's unreasonable to think a sub for band their size should be charging £57. The Offspring are playing the same venues and more on their tour and sold our really quickly at £60/65 a go.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
