Two of those acts are too big and the rest aren't big enough. Malev aren't far off but I can't see them headlining

Was trying to do some decoding as Andre I think mentioned on the Download Fan Forums knowing that one of those Tuska acts wouldn't play Download - presumably to play this other festival (Outbreak?) and Trees?

Turnstile doing Manchester Outbreak and Trees? I'm guessing this was the band you said in the Download Forum that was being predicted that aren't playing?

Turnstile would be epic! Their new album is currently vying for the top spot in my Album of The Year list.

I think I know one of the headliners for this. Said band are definitely playing another UK festival and are also playing a second UK fest and by process of elimination, Trees seems to make sense as being the second festival. 

President? Just got announced for Takedown as a headliner.

The band I’m referring to have been predicted in a logo slot for DL next year by myself and others but they’re not as big as a Main Stage sub or Second Stage headliner. I was pretty surprised when they said they weren’t going to be at DL next year. 

Malevolence?

Where have you made this prediction

My guess is Malevolence, I just don't think they'd be in the conversation as headliner until they're a bit in panic mode. They're getting into the right size venues but I wouldn't say they're necessarily gonna shift huge amounts as Trees headliner.

 

The one thing James said last week about some band pushing to headline but then he was talking to the support band on their upcoming tour who said the ticket sales are fine but not great so he ruled them out as headliner. Be intrigued to know who that was.

Well for what it's worth, they haven't confirmed any headliners yet anyway.

 

2 are close, both have the same booking agent but one of those have only just joined that agent.

 

Time for some Internet sleuthing 

 

Taking a punt that the agency is WME, have a bunch of huge bands (Foos, Qotsa etc.) and have had a few bands headline too (Coheed & TBS, At The Drive In, Nothing But Thieves, Jimmy Eat World)

 

Looking through the roster for bands the right size was tricky, Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols stood out, and AFI and Thursday too (though not sure they'd be big enough). Not sure who else there could headline who haven't before (he didn't say they haven't on the pod, I'm just making an assumption)

 

Also spotted Feeder on the roster which could be interesting. Feel like James would view them in a similar to way Placebo / Manics where he likes them personally but doesn't view them as a good fit. But they were pretty high on the list of bands who been used on that predictor site so hopefully he's seen that and looks into booking them

Excellent detective work this. Reckon it could be the year for AFI.

@Andre91 not replying to Malevolence while shooting down the other suggestions makes me think it is them he's talking about. Feels like when one of the kids in class has their hand up with the right answer but the teacher keeps picking on others to have a go instead

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
