Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

[Yellow_Fellow]

It's seriously abnormal to have this little info. Reading is playing its cards pretty close to its chest and I think it's working.

i will honestly be very surprised if the third headliner isn't Green Day or Black Sabbath. i'm more inclined to think Green Day, but John from SOAD's comment about them 'doing R/L's so they can play with the headliner' (in so many words) makes me think Black Sabbath (as i can't imagine SOAD are desperate to play with Green Day - they're not well known for their Basket Case covers). but i guess that could just be a throwaway comment. if it's anybody else then well done FR for keeping it such a secret this year!

I think they must have paid big bucks to get someone to come over even if they're not around, and that's why it's such a mystery. Bar blur no ones tour dates seems to indicate themselves as likely. I still maintain it is gonna be a guitar "legend" band, and am thinking its between rhcp, linkin park, and sabbath. Can't even see green day tbh.

Im hoping for a bit of a curve ball as the acts mentioned are not my cup of tea.

Hoping for neil young as ive never sern him before or depeche mode..

Have sabbath announced any tour dates.

Legend and Linkin Park?

[FloorFiller]

FR haven't booked Linkin Park as headliners when they have been in the country at the time, so why they'd pay big money to get them over here is beyond me. i still maintain that RHCP won't return yet. their shit performance is far too fresh in people's memories. Sabbath really does make the most sense, what with SOAD's comments, them having tour dates, new album, and of course, fitting in above SOAD

[Ukulelelad92]

I've been looking into who has collaborated on stage with SOAD throughout there career this afternoon (been incredibly bored) and im now inclined to think metallica. They've played together before a while back but other than that not much, Sabbath and RHCP have much closer connections to SOAD so I'm going to discount them for now

[guitarbhoy1888]

i wouldnt be surprised with metallica going by that kerrang interview...

surely they're huge influences on soad and they'd bite the hands off to play before them...

them or black sabbath.

[the wonderwhy]

Was it Sabbath who made that comment about Rage when they were talking about touring in Autumn? Or was that someone else?

I was looking into Pukkelpop/Rock En Seine rumours as I thought that might hold a clue, but literally can't find anything.

Ive been told its The Who by someone i work closely with who looks after a Live Nation account

[Yellow_Fellow]

Don't think they'd know to be honest with you. Don't know why they'd even have press release that early.

[Ukulelelad92]

As I said sabbath and SOAD seem to have a strong history. That could be promising in terms of sabbath not headlining

[Yellow_Fellow]

Doesn't need a press release, if it's an account being looked after then it's more than likely there would be a reference on any transactions, or outstanding payments etc. with the name of the band, as would be logical for anyone making the payment.

[the wonderwhy]

Wouldn't a band with a strong history with System make them more likely tho?
