Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

[dentalplan]

I thought we were saying they'd be more likely for 2014 as they tend to play when they tour a new album

[Gucci Piggy]

I hope to God they don't play this year, it'll only add to the amount of people droning on about the non-existent 5 year rule.

[atomised]

It looks to be based on the Japan and rio dates like they're taking a bit of a studio break. Think next year is more likely still but at the same time it ups their chances a tiny bit

There's never been a '5 year rule', they played in '97 then again in '03. That's 6 years. Then it was '08, which granted is 5 years. But it's only ever been 5 years once, and they've only played 3 times.

I know, I was just backing you up.

[Gucci Piggy]

But if they do play will the the 5-year rule suddenly exist???

However, I don't know if anyone's noticed or mentioned this, but when they headlined in '03, System Of A Down were beneath them...

Which probably makes it less likely, how often do they repeat lineups and placements??

Strokes & Pulp springs to mind.

[Mouseboy11]

I'd wouldn't mind Metallica because I've not seen them live, I'd prefer others though.

[Matt42]

Green Day/Eminem/Biffy is very very strong.

Almost too strong.

[kaosmark2]

I end up seeing Metallica live more years than not and they've always been excellent. Deftones/SOAD/Metallica would get me a day-ticket.

I'd prefer someone I haven't seen, or if I have, haven't seen in years though. And that's not, y'know, shit like Green Day or Linkin Park (who unfortunately, I have seen).

almost every option has been covered... i mean even aerosmith with suggested ages ago

But that comes down to a matter of opinion, neither are shit, both are admittedly past their best, but both are still popular, and there are plenty of people, myself included, who haven't seen them.

That said I'd put Linkin Park at the end of the list for who I'd want to play out of all the speculations

Maybe it will be someone we haven't even mentioned.. somehow

[thewayiam]

Hmm...they haven't played Lulu at R&L yet.
