I’m sure Gazza said he’d been told Parkway were headlining a while ago…

What day was that Thursday or Wednesday? I arrived at 1pm Wednesday queued a bit for car park then once Parked was plain sailing to get a spot. 

The Wednesday. On the Wednesday I literally got off my mates car (giving me and gf a lift, walked a 150 meters to find another mate, had a 10 min chat, walked back and the cars had moved about a meter. Saw people travelling by coach getting off to walk the however many miles left...would normally have been 20 mins in the car so dunno how long it would have taken them.

I don’t know if anyone has clocked this but Dublin arena posted at the exact time as the download announcement and it’s a hint for 21pilots….

I doubt it's Parkway after their arena tour sales this year but I'd love them as a sub

No, they posted this. But it was the exact timing and also has the flame theme. May be nothing, could be something.

It’s a lyric, apparently. I’m not a TOP fan so just going off what people are speculating. 

[chatty]

The imagery does scream ghost as did the first image with he witches. Could be wrong but I'm writing them in. 

 

One left to go, hopefully NIN.

Slayer have been announced for Sick New World, hopefully means they're doing a few EU festivals next year.

I'll take Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Prodigy, Clutch, Melvins, Mastodon and Cypress Hill please. 

 

Obviously SOAD and Deftones as well but they aren't happening.

I'm calling Ghost on that based on the imagery and the witch stuff. Last year the hint that was 'too obvious' to be Green Day ended up being Green Day so I'll go with the obvious answer here again. I've looked up the 3Dublin post and whilst google's AI tells you it's from a Twenty One Pilots song if you actually look up the lyrics it's not in there. Think people have got led astray by googling it. The fire and 'deliver them' potential nod to Parkway but I'm still going ghost. 

 

Limp Bizkit/Volbeat

Slayer

 

Ghost/Alice in Chains

A Perfect Circle

 

Linkin Park/Bad Omens

Trivium

 

Think this is best case scenario atm. Surely if they had GnR these teasers would be a lot different.

Is the world not bored of Slayer yet? There’s only so much blood in the clouds.

Yeah GNR seem like a bad rumour now. Nothing at all hints at them. Could be a surprise but I think not now. 

 

Are Limp Bizkit too big for the second stage headline slot?

Limp Bizkit are meant to be headlining main 

[partypirate]

That’s a nameless Ghoul ring. It’s Ghost.

I know, just seem like a really weak headliner in a year that doesn't seem like it has any big headliners at all. 

 

Could see it more if they had one big headline act. 

 

I mean if the rest of the line up is stacked cause they can spread more dough about Id take it mind.

Anyone that thinks it's related to Ghost presumably hasn't followed anything they've done in the last ten years.
