Lineup 2015

Avenged Sevenfold

They successfully headlined Download last year as their first major headline slot in this country, I can't see them dropping to sub R&L.

[justanothername]

I really can't see who else would be an appropriate/popular sub for Metallica though

Because Macklemore & Ryan Lewia was an appropriate sub for Blink 182

Your use of "successfully" is suspect, and also, sigh

[DomDom1984]

Even if it was, it's a completely different type of festival. They'd be sub at best at R&L.

[Yellow_Fellow]

It's more that it's a weasel word, what defines successful? Can you unsuccessfully headline a festival? It's a non-term that looks like it bolsters an argument

[dentalplan]

Can you unsuccessfully headline a festival?

By coheadlining it I think.

The general opinion was that they put on a decent show, wasn't it?

'Successfully' as in drawing the smallest headline crowd on the quietest year in recent memory? They closed half the camping fields that year!!

Huge success.

even if they were shit they still managed the set. It's a weasel word.

[dentalplan]

I wasn't being serious.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Better that than "they sucked"

But I can't see them heading anywhere else other than DL, so does that mean they'd only play DL and their own shows?

[DGrant261]

Co-subs?

Has that ever happened before, just out of curiosity?

[Gucci Piggy]

Tool

[DomDom1984]

Is that a nomination for a sub-headliner, or just a general observation?

[LondonTom]

Has that ever happened before, just out of curiosity?

Every co headliner is also a co sub =p

[gary1979666]

Has that ever happened before, just out of curiosity?

Sarcasm? Yes that has happened plenty of times before.

Co Sub Headlining? No and never speak of it again.

[Gucci Piggy]

Hahaha, a nomination.

Cheeky rumours there

not one that you want to pay much attention to.

Mind you, it looks like names lifted from efests anyway, without the accompanying knowledge that comes with what we list.

[Yellow_Fellow]

God I hate normies when it comes to fests

[Andre91]

Normies

Yes. Also sonisphere if it runs.
