Apparently Graspops announcement today will have a few surprises 

[alexs7]

Someone on discord says their friend is guitar tech for Ghost and are told they are not at Download - you can choose weather to believe it or not.

Info like that isn't something staff for a band would give out

About 3/4 going off their previous posts

I thought they were average when I saw them at Glastonbury tbh. Weren't bad but not a performance that stood out for me either. 

Yes there were reports the Glastonbury show wasn't great.

Feel like 3 out of those 4 will be at DL.  Not sure on BMTH though... 2023 the last time could make them possible??

Architects and BMTH are in central Europe Friday and Sunday so unlikely for them to fly over for one UK show

 

Babymetal and Bad Omens seem nailed on

I don't think I'm understating when I say that these are four of the biggest metalcore bands in the world, and to have all four on one day is genuinely insane.

It’s a serious lineup that, if that were over here I’d be over the moon.

Genuinely interested in people's views here. Discarding the expected bands this year, which 3 headliner acts would you want to play at DL this year?  

They have to be still touring/capable of performing. 

I would want RATM - Slipknot - Limp Bizkit.

[craigcharles420]

RATM/Slipknot/LB would be mega but RATM are no longer a thing sadly

Dream 3 would probably be MCR, SOAD and Paramore

Slipknot - RATM - SOAD would be my dream trio 

 

Replace RATM with Blink or Paramore if only active bands are allowed lol 

[Andre91]

My three ultimate dream headliners would probably be Rage Against The Machine, Paramore and TOOL, just going off the top of my head completely.

Foo Fighters, MCR and either BMTH or Korn, really won me over with their DL headline set this year.

Limp Bizkit will be on Saturday. Megadeth and Anthrax are guaranteed to be playing.
