Big yes to Mudvayne.

[TWY2911]

Limp Bizkit / Papa Roach / Electric Callboy / Mudvayne / Kublai Khan / Snot / Guilt Trip 

 

I literally wouldn't leave the main stage all day 

[Andre91]

I’m expecting Trivium to be about. New EP to promote and all that.

JESUS 😂 we bolted from camp and waited in that horrible sun at that stage for nothing. 
 

Got to catch Static Dress though which was cool anyway.

So secret a set that the band didn’t even know about it 😂

Booking Yungblud to headlined would have made more sense currently right now with his rise. Yungblud, GNR, LP and I'd have made an effort to see what's about in the lineup. Currently it would really need to be good to not just be Sunday and then RIP might stop it needing to be.

Way too big to get now really.

20th anniversary of them first playing had me hopeful.

This would be my ideal Bizkit day: 

 

Limp Bizkit / Cypress Hill / Electric Callboy / Denzel Curry / Kublai Khan TX / Joey Valence & Brae / Guilt Trip

Joey Valence would be good actually

He’ll sub Limp Bizkit, he’s friends with them and is supporting his SA tour in Nov/Dec this year. 

 

 

True but the same person who predicted Limp Bizkit said GnR so we’ve got more to go on for GnR than Ghost atm.  

Let's hope not. To be honest Halestorm below GNR fits too if they are about.

Just had a thought, I know someone mentioned that Parkway would be around next year 

 

I know they are a borderline headliner but their arena tour hasn't sold too well. You can have them sub LB which would be a strong sub for a 'weak-ish' headliner 

 

You could even have them co-headline with LB which would sort the lack of material concerns with LB but Download would never do that lol

I asked about Parkway Drive to my friend, he said he would ask on their tour but I don't see it now. I think it was more just thought from him than anything.

Get Blood Incantation headlining the Dogtooth against the first half of GNR’s set.

I second this. Or maybe Mayhem, that'd be fun!

I can guarantee GNR won't allow that lol

This is why GNR shouldn’t be booked, I’m sick of there being nothing else vs headliners at R&L, don’t let it happen here again.

Avalanche and Dogtooth should go up against the apex headliner imo

Both definitely should, put someone fun on those stages. Theres no way at this stage in their careers GNR should be saying they don’t want anyone playing against them, it’s not like they’re trying to win over new people.

[northernangel]

Arrange the arena to avoid main and second sound bleed and clash the headliners. You'll get The Prodigy back doing that too.

The sh*tty Reckless third down too 🤢

[Siddey1994]

Hate to be that guy but was saying for weeks they wouldn’t put a secret set on first thing after arena open, did get a tad sus seeing Matt Heafy’s post but there was nowt more validating than seeing everyone walking back looking moody Saturday midday 😂

[Siddey1994]

Are we settled on LB | GNR | LP?

No Gn’R? Hopefully that makes them less likely for Download. 
 

Download should book The Cure.

Download should book The Cure yes. It might just mean Nova would rather not book them. Their top 4 and The Offspring is a decent get. Apart from fhe Friday and Saturday undercard it's not a bad lineup. Social Distortion in there too, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach.

 

Going by that lineup as well, Trivium will not be subbing.
