Not booking them?

Like you’re not booking a ticket?

Same guy who went on about how indie is pop and not rock, and then said anyone who disagrees is unwashed and uneducated. Check the glasto 27 headliners thread and go back a page or two. He also said anything released prior to Black Sabbath's debut is not real rock music.

 

This is the guy who is accusing me of gatekeeping.

How’s about a way too early lineup prediction to get things back on track?
 

APEX: Deftones / Alice In Chains / Knocked Loose / Malevolence 

 

OPUS: Don Broco 

 

 

APEX: Blink-182 / Avril Lavigne / Good Charlotte / Alkaline Trio  

 

OPUS: Lamb of God

 

 

APEX: System Of A Down / Gojira / Amon Amarth / PRESIDENT 

 

OPUS: Megadeth (Final UK show) 

[rock_on]

Megadeth should be headlining the whole festival not headlining second.

He said let's get back on track

People should just not feed the obvious troll.

I'm being serious. If it's their last ever UK show it absolutely should be a main stage headline slot rather than second stage. They're one of the big 4 for crying out loud. Slayers final show being on 2nd a few years back was a disgrace.

This would get me there 100%. Way better than this year's linup imo which doesn't do much for me personally. Deftones, AIC, Knocked Loose, LOG, SOAD, Gojira and Megadeth would all be must see for me.

 

I do think SOAD will be there 100%. Get the feeling we will get MCR instead of Blink, same deal as SOAD and this year LP, huge band who sold out stadiums the year prior. Deftones makes perfect sense as the next band from their era after Korn and LB to bump up.

[andyrhodes24]

I’ll give it a go (pre-line up listening session):

 

MUST SEE 

Bad Omens, Cypress Hill, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Electric Callboy, Landmvrks, letlive, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, The Plot In You

 

WANT TO SEE 

Ash, Babymetal, Behemoth, Dogstar, Feeder, Guns n Roses, Imminence, Mouth Culture, Sleep Theory, Social Distortion

 

WOULD SEE 

Bloodywood, Drowning Pool, Magnolia Park, South Arcade, Those Damn Crows, unpeople

Hot take but a trio of Deftones, MCR and SOAD would be the highest selling download ever 

 

Probably the three most popular bands with the younger generation

I predicted Slipknot instead of Deftones, but it is definitely time for Deftones to step up to headliner. Slipknot can headline in 28.

It wouldn't. 2023 sold out and they've reduced capacity since then so it can't be the best selling Download ever!!

It wouldn't be but it would be high. 2023 is the highest selling and is unlikely ever be beaten.

Seeing some of the bands you’ve got there, I would recommend Silent Planet and DRAIN for sure.

Panic are too big to sub and I can't see Download ever booking them to headline either 

[DomDom1984]

I think it's unlikely we'll see them anywhere next year anyways.

I must be out of touch, I'd have had them in the weak headliner / strong sub category.

I think the fact they've been gone for a while would make them headline or nothing 

 

They are one of the biggest 2000's nostalgia acts along with MCR and FOB 

[TWY2911]

These are the options for the bands that have never played download before 

 

Blink 182 

Foo Fighters 

Nine Inch Nails 

Pearl Jam 

Bon Jovi (Unlikely) 

The Cure (Unlikely) 

Queen + Adam Lambert (Unlikely) 

Panic At The Disco (Very Unlikely) 

 

And I think it'll be two of these bands 

 

Deftones 

Slipknot

Ghost

System Of A Down 

My Chemical Romance 

Paramore

Iron Maiden

Metallica

Bring Me The Horizon

 

That's your pool imo 

 

Possibly some outside shots like Falling In Reverse (please no) that I'm not thinking of

I’ll definitely have a listen, there’ll be a lot of gems in there I’ve not found yet. Also missed Architects off my list who are probably in my top three 😂

I don't think Bon Jovi is too unlikely.

 

The Wembley dates are selling well so there is demand (unlike GnR.) If Download want another Monsters of Rock era band to headline then they are probably the best shout
