Nine Inch Nails to headline in 2014

[The_ReeceRocker]

Pearl Jam were unreal at IOW 2012, best live act i've ever seen !

I could see Sabbath headline again or Machine Head since new albums are on the way

They gotta get a younger band to be the 3rd headliner, can't keep relying on the old timers to sell tickets.. so how about Avenged Sevenfold, Alter Bridge or possibly BMTH (depending on how Sempiternal sells)

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Machine Head peaked long ago, they ain't headlining Download, ever.

[SOAD]

I reckon if we had Tool, NIN and Pearl Jam as headliners something like this would work:

Tool

Avenged Sevenfold

Machine Head

Nine Inch Nails

Placebo

Pearl Jam

My Chemical Romance

Alter Bridge

Would arguably be a very strong undercard. Not sure if MCR would accept that slot but then again they wont be doing Reading again any time soon and may find it hard to headline somewhere else.

Love how Machine Head fans think they are a massive band when really they are an above average sized band that has peaked in popularity and wont move any further up festival bills

[SOAD]

I think the failure of the MH arena tour should have been a pretty decent hint that they should never headline... same with Bullet.

[Gucci Piggy]

Nin

Paramore

Pearl jam

Tool

Avenged sevenfold

Tool won't sub a festival in the light, it just wouldn't work. They'll headline or they won't be there.

What time are they on though? I never said they wouldn't sub due to size, just that they wouldn't chose to do it at a festival in the light...

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Infact is that festival even outdoors? I got the impression it's indoors...

[cornucopia]

I think it is inside - a bit like the O2 possibly

[Gucci Piggy]

Oh right. Ignore me.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Black Sabbath should do an Ozzfest UK at the 02 & bring Tool along.

Don't think NIN will headline. Something like this would do nicely I reckon:

Tool

Nine Inch Nails

The Offspring

Coheed & Cambria

Avenged Sevenfold

Deftones

Slayer

Rise Against

Pearl Jam

The Smashing Pumpkins

Iggy & The Stooges

Dream Theatre

2nd Stage Headliners:

Bring Me The Horizon, Alter Bridge & Megadeth

[devilman]

I'd buy a ticket for that. A7X v Alterbridge would be a killer. Megadeth will never be 2nd headliners now. Mid afternoon main and on the way down.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Had they been announced for Download off the back of their reunion I think NIN would have headlined, but the year after subbing Reading I can only see them subbing, hopefully to TOOL
