Fact of the matter is that when Metallica headline a festival,it more or less sells out.

Ok, Reading sells out anyway but Download and Sonisphere definately sell more tickets if Metallica play.(in fact,no better example than Sonisphere 2010 compared to sonisphere 2011).

Yeah I understand that but I still think that because there is new material on the way they could play. Look at Slipknot at download who are doing the exact same thing or Prodigy this year. Also they said that they cant afford not to play festivals and reading is the only festival in England they can do.

Yeah it could happen, in the same way that it could be 100 other bands, as there's nothing to confidently rule them out (other than the negative remarks made about them by Melvin Benn). However I don't think that having a new album out in 2014 and the fact that they like touring as a means of making more money (I think that 'can't afford not to' is a bit of a twist by either them or NME, I'm sure they're very comfortable financially, and if they actually made a decent fucking album again maybe they'd earn more in royalties) is any evidence that they're likely to be headlining in 2013.

Yup called this a while ago. I would be surprised not to see them there.

I'd call Green Day and Metallica as two for 2014. Emirates will rule GD out but the fact they agreed to play a set at 11am in the morning, says to me, out of anything R&L is something they are more open to than they once were. You just need your big indie band around at the time.
