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

Aye. I hope they do this because itd tempt me down, but feel like Trees will be the destination.

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

Funeral For A Friend
Coheed And Cambria
Alexisonfire
Reel Big Fish
Enter Shikari
Pierce The Veil
All Time Low
All American Rejects
The Story So Far
Turnstile

Pierce The Veil

All Time Low

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.
