Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

[Andre91]

I'd be so pleased with Metallica, never seen them before and they've been one of my favourites for years. Slipknot would be amazing, but have Download and R&L ever shared a headliner before?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Oh, forgot about Download lol. Scrap that, Metallica all the way subbed by Slipknot

[dentalplan]

Didn't realise it was the drummer who said that, apologies. Also I wasn't being entirely serious.

SOAD said the third headliner is a band they've played with before - it doesn't specify that it's their headliner

[Andre91]

I thought the same thing Will

Although System subbing Biffy, FOB subbing Eminem and Slipknot subbing Metallica would be an absolute dream haha.

I was just responding to the second bit of what you said, about Rage but it not being a strong enough link.

They have played with The Prodigy before. Must make them more likely?

Blur looking likely based on the once thing...

[PDAD]

So who are the possibilities? Blur, Prodigy, Metallica....?

If its Metallica I'll assume r&l has now become a BBC3 reality programme run by interns forced to do the most ridiculous things to get a job.

[5co77ie]

err they played on the same bill as Metallica quite often including at Reading

After some very slight digging i thought i'd add to the thousands of bands that system have played with once before many years ago. (This was in 2003)

"System Of A Down and Red Hot Chili Peppers will play a Nov. 15 benefit concert for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music and the Warschaw Center for Prostate Cancer Research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to Billboard.com. The show will be held at the Palladium in Los Angeles. Also appearing will be Mike Watt. Tickets go on-sale Thursday (Nov. 13) via Ticketmaster."

I'm glad the best clue we've gotten for any headliner this year has provided us with such precision in our ability to work out who's playing.

[Asdaprice]

I wouldn't say that clue, is really a clue. It depends what context it's in, because if it means someone they played at the same fest with, that makes it huge. I would assume it means they toured together with the headliner, which makes the 3rd headliner, a heavy one!

theres obviously the slipknot thing (though highly unlikely), metalica etc. nova rock festival and download 2011 had linkin park so possible. rock in rio 2011 had coldplay, rihanna, gnr, snore patrol. rock am ring 2011 had kol, greenfield festival had foo fighters. nine inch nails kroq almost acoustic christmas night 1 2005. a robie williams gig in 2005 portugal had, robbie williams (ruled out stadium tour), madonna, green day etc. nova rock festival and download 2005 had the proidgy and the latter had black sabbath, graspop 2005 had iron maiden (but highly unlikely). a dream (but impossible) phoenix, hurricane and soutside festival 2005, super bock super rock festival 2005 had BEP, reading/leeds 2003 blink182, jay-z. 2002 reading/leeds muse. ozzfest 2002, tool. 2001 ramstein and thats all of 58 songkick pages. Essentially they have played with so many big artists that the hint rules out erm only blur (unless ive missed something) which would be a huge shame because i love blur

[Yellow_Fellow]

You've also forgotten all their support tours.

[Gravyshambles]

It's Muse.

Edit: Just realised Tool are on there. Here we go boys. Deftones > SOAD > Tool. Stuff of dreams.
