Was really struggling with a credible name for this tbh.

 

Can think of plenty who'd play undercard (Gaslight Anthem, Rise Against, Mayday Parade, Yellowcard) but not sure where they go from here given who's played recently.

 

Maybe Avril Lavigne? Been mentioned a few years running now. 

 Avril is who they need to go for, good undercard might be enough to shell out. It's costing more than the LP day for Download which is utter madness.

Turnstile and AFI are my guesses for the two big headliners. 

 

I don't think AFI are big enough

Can see All Time Low coming back, pretty well sold arena tour this year. 

 

Me too. Someone i know grabbed tickets the day before to north for £40 a pop, you ain't getting that at South.

If you sell lots of arena tickets, you're probably too big for this. 

 

I think Weezer is a great shout. I think The Offspring might be a bit out of reach now as well. 

 

They are out of reach but I'm sure they did an arena tour nefore 2023 show. I don't see Weezer touring here next year but that wouldn't interest me now.

Rancid has to happen at some point surely. They are the perfect punk headliner for SD. 

 

Turnstile would be rad. It's definitely time for them to come back.

The Offspring played arenas but with nowhere near the success of the last tour. I don't doubt they'll fall a bit again but until then, they'll be out of reach.

 

Shikari are playing arenas too. And selling an amount of tickets that would suggest festivals like this are their level.

Im still of the belief that shikari will be one of the headliners for 2000trees next year rather than slammy

I'd be happy with any of these ten and to me all look credible as headliners - someone correct me if I'm wrong!

  1. Pierce The Veil

  2. All Time Low

  3. Turnstile


I think you’re probably looking at one of these 3. I do think Turnstile will finally be  at Download next year though so it’s between ATL & PTV, maybe both but not sure either suit the heavier stage if they go the same way.

    • 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
