Maybe it's The Gaslight Anthem, and they're leaving the announcement as late as possible to get their tour tickets sold?

Most dates are sold out though

Nah, they were pushing ATDI hard as the 'biggest US headliner to date' & Gaslight are bigger. Plus, Gaslight don't have any Euro festival shows announced but Brian Fallon has. Still surprised that Fallon hasn't been announced tbh, thought he was a lock for Trees this year.

Think they was pushing Brand New as the biggest US headliner to date but then had to announce At The Drive In instead.

Me too tbh but at this point I think the last headliner will be more 'indie friendly'. Maybe someone like Maximo Park? Are Editors too big?

I heard rumours of 'The Descendants' a bit ago but that was likely bollocks.

Yeah it was me who said that about the descendents but they’ve got dates that weekend now

But the first time they pushing the biggest US headliner thing was like a few weeks after the allegations though?

Oh for some reason I thought they were pushing that a while before that came out

They tweeted they'd booked their final headliner well after ATDI were announced, so I wouldnt rule out Gaslight just cause of the 'biggest American band' thing

I really doubt the last headliner will be Frank Turner now. If it was smaller venues then fair enough, but he’s doing an arena tour. 

I’m still placing my bets on Frank Carter. Them and Basement are playing a festival in Europe the same weekend too, so they could easily fly over.

I would have thought it too soon for it to be Frank Carter. He only sub headlined last year. Would be a bit soon for him to return.

Someone on the Download forums speculated that it could be The Darkness doing a 15-year anniversary show for Permission To Land... thoughts?

Alternatively, anyone reckon it could be The Hives?

So why wait this long to announce them given that they're not playing any other fests and most of their tour dates are sold out?

If it's The Darkness after all this time then that'd be a disappointment but thank god I don't ever see it happening. Also The Hives are certainly about and I guess they could do it but I just don't see it happening for some reason

I would be very surprised if it was The Darkness but The Hives could be a decent left-field shout. I'd be pleased!

[theramm]

The Darkness would be an absolute joy.

[jonday81]

Would love Skunk Anansie. Any chance do we think?

[tbrock]

Announcement next week.  

[UndergroundSound]

would really love Frank Carter or Neck Deep but doubt that's too likely...

[TheWaters]

I'm saying either Neck Deep, You Me At Six or Skindred to be final headliner. Is next week's announcement a headliner announcement or just more of the undercard?

I asked them when the last headliner announcement would be and they said probably at the end of this month, so I think it will be 

[somethingpersonal]

Looks like we will be getting the last headliner next week!  

[FMcG88]

9am tomorrow it looks like. Any predictions?  

[Jericode]

Twin Atlantic, because of this:

 

[Andrinald]

That'd be an annoying headliner announcement...

 

Anyone think they could play and not headline? Deaf Havana have done so in the past, and Frabbit this year. TA also playing very low down at Slam Dunk.

Twin Atlantic were announced as a special guest at Slam Dunk, im assuming that’s so they could put them further down the lineup than they should’ve been. I think if they were to play they’d definitely headline! Could be wrong though!!

well looky looky here

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Twin Atlantic subbing Shikari seems more likely to me than them headlining again. Especially seeing as they're playing a lot of festivals and have summer headline shows too.
