Hozier would be an absolute joke like getting george ezra to do it. Just seen he's had a new song hit no.1 but otherwise theres been nothing for 10 years of note Hardly going to sell tickets to the gcse/uni crowd nor will it sell tickets to rock fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he's not had a proper "hit" for a while, he's racked up some pretty massive streaming numbers in the last couple of years. I think it all happened during lockdown. I'm not sure he would headline tbh, but I think it's a definite possibility. Edited April 18 by WhoOdyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think his fanbase attend R&L - would get absolutely clowned upon in the comments etc. Far more likely to do an APE day or play say IOW / Latitude I think. He has no precedent for playing fests like R&L (except in ireland) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see him doing a couple of big o2 shows or similar, as per GFA though, I don’t think his audience are festival going types, those who’d got to R&L anyway. IOW perhaps?

They played R+L once, but have headlined DL what 4 times and it is the only place they ever played Hybrid Theory in full - front to back. Just like R+L has the connection with Foos and Green Day, it is Download who have the connection with LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 No chance some sort of weird, reformed LP play R&L. They’ll be at Download if anything. Three members plus some other singer isn’t Linkin Park though, is it? I’m sure it’ll be cool for some people to go along and see those songs but it shouldn’t be headlining festivals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this may sound odd but with a different vocalist would they immediately get a headline spot or be asked to accept a sub. For for the record, I don't want them with any other singer.

wghennessy Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I wouldnt be against LP reforming with a new vocalist but if its only 3 of them it does scream that its a bit of a cash grab. I was initially excited but not half arsed. Next year I can see a Sabrina Carpenter being quite high up. Dua Lipa is an obvious booking to headline. 16 hours ago, northernangel said: Yup indeed.

They'd be a headline slot, without doubt. They are / were huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was initially excited but not half arsed. If it was the five of them plus a new vocalist then I'd be all for it. I think the fact that it is just the three of them moves it towards the Pantera reunion for me (though obviously not the same as that).

northernangel Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Dua Lipa and Foo Fighters are definitely the first guesses for the main stage for me. And Eminem as a 3rd wouldn't shock me. Multiple different basis covered there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 Lineup survey for 2025 is on socials. I answered the following: 5 headliners: My Chemical Romance, Kendrick Lamar, Paramore, The Strokes & Tyler the Creator 3 headliners from the list: Metallica, Travis Scott & Tame Impala 5 non-headline acts: Turnstile, IDLES, Chase & Status, Little Simz & Knocked Loose 3 non-headliners from the list: Deftones, KoRn & Bloc Party 3 more non-headliners from the list: Lil Nas X, Limp Bizkit & Machine Gun Kelly I couldn’t help but notice there were far more heavy options to choose from compared to the last few surveys. I was surprised to see some names in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomEnglishPerson Posted May 15 Report Share Posted May 15 i looked at the list and was so confused with Maiden but they'll be playing download next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
