When is the festival likely to make an announcement? They seem to have been announcing later the past couple of years?

It's been the start of November the past couple of years.

Are Deftones still considered a sub headline band these days? Got a feeling they may headline 2000 Trees.

I think with their surge in popularity past few years the only way they'd go from sub would be up, but I think sub is definitely where they'd stay

That fest is no where big enough for them. Can see them doing Gunnersbury park though.

Another made up poster incoming 😁

Deftones will sub Sleep Token I'd imagine - a Friday top 3 of Sleep Token / Deftones / Spiritbox is an absolute slam dunk run for Download.

 

Round the day out with Meshuggah / Leprous or Periphery / Loathe / Static Dress or A.A. Williams and you have a perfect blend of old and new that blends together well in a coherent way, but also covers a really wide variety of genre's.

There is 5,000 different capacity between those two...

And? 2000 Trees is a festival it has to pay like 100+ bands, it's not going to have the money to pay Deftones. Look at previous 2000 Trees headliners - this year was The Gaslight Anthem, Don Brocco and The Chats, none of those 3 are anywhere near as big as Deftones (or Limp Bizkit or Korn who are the other 3 nu-metal bands who have done Gunnersbury park recently).

 

Also there's a 10000 gap, 2000 Trees is 15000 right? Gunnersbury park was 25000 for Korn (as posted by the band themselves afterwards).

You said big enough, nowt to do with what they could afford. It's 20,000 with day and evening tickets.

 

I don't think they'll play Trees I was just pointing out the size isn't much difference

Obviously a misunderstanding here, as when I was talking about 'big enough' I was including the festival stature in terms of what level of bands they can book, not just the size. 

 

Wasn't aware Trees had increased their capacity but fair play to them.

I imagine for most this will be good, 7 acts on there for me though.

Why do most predictions include Avril Lavigne? Did she say she was touring next year?

Booking team wanted her last year and suits the GD booking, nothing to say she will tour but more hope/educated guesswork.

But to be fair, hardly any tours been announced for next year so it’s mostly guesswork at this time.

This is fairly decent, I’d bin off Steel Panther and Jelly Roll though, they stick out like a sore thumb. 
 

I know people keep predicting Korn to headline but I just don’t see it. If Download are struggling to find a third headliner I think they’d revert to type and just book Slipknot again before giving Korn the bump.

Deftones' size in the UK is pure guesswork at this point. Rarely play here anymore and their sub status at Download doesn't line up with the venues they're playing, they're grandfathered in.

 

Need a new proper tour here again to see what their status is, but in February it'll be the longest we've ever gone without a new Deftones record and I haven't seen a single murmur of one. They barely touch Ohms live and even they know Gore sucked, I think they might be winding things down slowly. Chino's 51, can't keep that up forever.

They're in the Studio and Chino has been working on vocals this year so it's definitely coming.

Oh nice, must've missed it. Be nice if we got a proper tour and they didn't just play the Download sub slot again as their one show here.

Was said a while back tbf, when they did Coachella Chino said he was heading in to do vocals after but instrumentally it was pretty much done.

Puscifer / Primus / A Perfect Circle finishing their tour week before DL. Can’t say it’s likely, but would love them to play. Especially if they all share the stage like they will on the tour

Got real excited it was Europe when I saw a few headlines 😒

[Long Season]

Download is way overdue some primus action

[Spiral_Low]

Deftones North America tour in the spring which suggest Europe in summer.
