[Jos92]

First major line up announcement 23.09 at 7.30am UK time

 

Bring me the horizon and offspring announced already 

[Ausländer]

So it's probably Iron Maiden

Could well be, wouldn't be surprised if it was maiden or GnR, Bizkit and maybe the offspring as they usually have a weaker headliner for the 4th

[Ausländer]

Like I said in the previous thread I think that GnR is unlikely since there concert in Vienna didn't sell all that well even with Sex Pistols and Wolfmother as support. 

 

Iron Maiden would fit really well, and I could see Limp Bizkit headline as well. A outside candidate that I could see confirmed for Nova and Rar/Rip is Volbeat

[SweetJesus]

According to Zegut, Foo Fighters coming to France in early June, they still owe a show to Nova Rock people

MCR before they go to the UK?

Would make sense I think. The band just announce a 3rd date in Wembley but also Madrid and Florence. I can see them spending a long time in Europe this Summer. This week could be The Black Parade one!

Based on Barracuda's (the festivals promotors) booking history, I kinda expect Twenty One Pilots to be announced tomorrow

They would fit more with Frequency festival than Nova Rock, and they are already booked for Hurricane and Southside, and since both Rar/Rip announce tomorrow as well I think it's very likely that they gonna share a head

I had thought that, but it's a little early unless they've a clatter of festivals lined up.

Yeah, Kronen Zeitung

BMTH/Iron Maiden/The Cure/Volbeat

 

No Foos

No Foos

That's a massive set of headliners to be fair. I think that puts Maiden with a very big chance of being at rock am ring and they shared 6 headliners in the past two years I believe with 5 of those being all the main stage, A7X being RAR second stage and Tenacious D subbing RAR while headlining Nova.

 

No Foos is a surprise which likely rules out RAR two only two years later.

The Cure is a pleasant surprise, otherwise the headliner are pretty much what I expected. Never really believed in the Foos, but a perfect circle is what really gets me hyped 

[SweetJesus]

A Perfect Circle is biggest surprise, same as Social Distortion.

It’s mostly a “usual suspects” bag of names but there’s a lot of names on there I really like, definitely on my radar that. Love that we’ve got a few big dominos falling this week to help get a sense of what’s about

I wouldn't go as there isn't enough there despite the price and a LP headed festival is what I'm after.

Yeah that’s fair enough, LP played at Rock for People last year so they’re not as much as a priority for me this season

Amazing, highly recommended. 

We were there for the very first time this year.

Great bands, nice atmosphere, large options of great food and more importantly - cheap beers.

In my experience I can only echo what @turnero said really; they really went above and beyond this year line up wise I felt with it being their 30th anniversary but I feel it’ll deliver again this year. There’s always a band on somewhere too, great variety

Unreal, got our ring tickets already but toying with the idea of doing a day or two at Nova or RfP, if they announce bring me it'll probably swing me to the Czech republic.
