Just to add fuel to the fire i've been told from a Source that works behind the scenes at KnotFest/Roadrunner that Korn are headlining 

 

Obviously wouldn't expect anyone to believe me but that's my piece of info at the moment 

 

If that's true i'd be surprised by this especially with the slot that Limp Bizkit were given last year

 

I've believed this for a little while now tbh, just feels like it'll happen.

 

Green Day would be an amazing headliner for me but they aren't the "big get" band I'd heard so, if both are true, this year could be pretty damn exciting and the smaller 3rd headliner of Korn would completely make sense

Think it's also a funding thing - With all the news outlets reporting the lack of money in the Festival scene at the moment going with 1 big and 2 smaller headliners seems like the new trend

Sleep Token coming back in


Late substitution with ST in and LP out I reckon. Are be back to something like the following?

 

Sleep Token - Blink-182 - Slipknot 

 

I hope so because it will be nice progress for the festival to make.

Sleep Token / Green Day / Another Pretty Big Win

 

Still coping that it's Pearl Jam, could not say no to ST/GD/PJ if I tried.

 

Want to believe they won't be going for Slipknot again so soon and that Maiden are doing their own thing / a "50th" anniversary in 2026.

 

blink and Muse still options for a third. NIN definitely in Europe next year, real outside possibility but would be considered a big win for Download honestly, long requested by fans.

Don’t think current day NIN are ‘metal’ enough for a Download headline slot. Maybe if they were willing to take a sub slot it could work out, but reckon they’re more likely to just do their own shows these days if they’re not being offered headline slots.

 

edit: should add, I know they’ve now had FOB and now possibly Green Day, but they’re at least high energy huge singalong acts, whereas NIN can often get quite chin strokey these days which I think would fall flat.

How does Sleep Token work with the RaR/RiP “European” exclusivity? Unless they meant mainland or EU exclusive, I can’t remember what we concluded about the rather vague wording 🤔. Either way I’d love for Sleep Token to be there.


There's no more exclusivity wording on their page on the RAR/RIP site, BMTH says "only Mainland Europe show"

Seems like the European exclusivity is no longer on the RaR website

Was it ever stated on that particular page that it was European exclusive? BMTH has 100% shifted from “only European shows of 2025” to “European mainland” which suggests a UK show but I’m not sure on Sleep Token.

 

The Instagram post and the announcement video 100% said Only European shows, did that lineup page definitely say it as well?

Two outside of eFests, same word on the same day, one at least 100% ITK 


Edit: and word on coming back from above

Where does any of the above say that Sleep Token are back in?

Didn’t you say that Sleep Token’s band profile page never said anything about being exclusive and that it hadn’t been changed?

 

If nothing has changed on that page what suggests the exclusive has been removed?

Official forums? 

 

Just getting a bit miffed at all this supposedly in the know info that contradicts others. Not complaining just what some clarity 🙂

Thereabouts... but people hear different things at different times, it's all rumours until we get an inevitable proper leak a few weeks before the official announcement

    • 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
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
