Surely they won't have two headliners from 2014, a year after having two headliners from 2013? Just seems mental they can keep having repeat bookings from a few years before except this time it's an extra £20/25.

Perhaps. I don't personally think they'd care that much but I get what you mean.

I mean, there isn't really anything suggesting A7X at this point so you could chuck them out. It's a reasonable guess but they've not been included in any of these leaked/announced festivals recently (still early of course) and the A7X-Metallica-Blink rumour has been thrown out.

[coreyt409]

Blink would be a nice change, I think it would go down pretty well with the Download crowd too, so long as there's a strong alternative on the second stage.

I get the whole thing about repeating bookings but they know what sells tickets and that's what it's all about at the end of the day.

The selection pool is also a lot narrower than other festivals so headliners are a lot more limited, something new would be great though!

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Blink already ruled out due to their July tour though

System of a Down at Download Paris (source : zegut)

He also said they're getting Aerosmith and Green Day. 

[FloorFiller]

are Green Day definitely ruled out of Download because of BST then? Green Day instead of Avenged Sevenfold would make the headliners look much stronger

He doesn't assert it, he just says they are probable; but concerning SOAD, he's sure

I think that is a very strong set of headliners too. One of the iconic names in Rock over the last 40 years playing their final tour, one of the biggest names in the current Metal world coming back with a new album and one of the most popular Metal bands of the past 20 years coming back to play only their fifth show in 11/12 years. 

It's most likely looking more so them 3, but you can believe it's very strong as much as wanted but bar SOAD it's just a repeated set a few years later like last year, it's a bit embarrassing tbh. 

Even T and Van never got that bad with repeats.

I'd probably do that for a day as any after tour will be one quick sell London date or something. 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah he has ?'s by Green Day, Prophets of Rage and Aerosmith but not by SOAD meaning he's pretty certain.

We we already know that Green Day won't be one of them. POR subbing.

Don't be silly. 3 times in 8 years for Aerosmith. 2 in 4 years for A7x. (if it is those) Calvin Harris has played more times than both those together in the same time period.

Why so angry silly boy? Both Kasabian and CH have been repeated after only one year away. Kasabian have headlined T 3 times in 5 years. Download's headliner pool isn't as bad as that yet. 

[foolee]

Let's be honest they're both as bad as eachother with repeat headliners. And you two just aren't ever going to be best friends, haha.

Nor me after that.

Friday I'd imagine. Then they've just got Donington and Paris back to back rather than Paris-Donington-Prague. Oldie (Aerosmith) for Sunday then whoever for Saturday. Maybe someone big.

Just had a quick browse of the DL Forums to see if there was any more details. Well worth a read if you've got a spare 10 minutes. In-fighting among themselves about whether or not this means System will play or not.
