BMTH aren't big enough to headline, they need a new album out before then, they've toured the UK to death.

Last I heard Metallica wanted to tour their new album when it eventually drops, wouldn't surprise me if they did an arena tour late next year, haven't heard anything about them for quite a while now, last I heard was when I wrote on here that they wanted to take a year off.

Ah Guns, who knows what they will do, last I heard a few months ago; they were planning a stadium tour to celebrate Appetite. If they're still together I can see this happening, unless they get ridiculous offers from festivals.

Fully expecting Sonisphere to be back. 

 

The only thing i agree with on there is BMTH, Metallica will surely play Download, it's been a while and they need to keep Sonisphere at bay. As for Guns provided they are together i'd be very surprised if Glastonbury didn't get them ahead of Download. Personally think it's going to be: Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica and System Of A Down. System Of A Down is a bit of a stab in the dark but here's hoping.

Don't metallica or their management have shares in soni?

Glastonbury wouldn't pay anywhere near Guns n' Roses asking price.

 

Reading & Leeds maybe, but not Glastonbury.

So we can now be certain that Avenged Sevenfold aren't headlining now that Black Crow is certain. Good to know.

They'll end up not being there and he will say ''they were set to headline.''

Get Kvelertak and Opeth on that Friday (instead of Hatebreed and Frank Carter) and I'd be all over a Friday ticket!

That Saturday though is arse!! (Though I'd go see Crossfaith and Rancid...)

 

Are we sure Misfits would be that high?  Maybe a second stage headliner?  I get it's a reunion of sorts but it seems over ambitious...

You kept saying that'd be around this year but nope! Nothing happened. Wonder why that was? Stuff fell through really late on or maybe you're just a lying sack of shit

Misfits wouldn't be that high, despite it being a reunion. Third from the top or second stage headliner i would say.

Don't be surprised in the Autumn, when Maiden get announced for Hellfest, Rock am Ring, Nova Rock, Greenfield and Sonisphere.

If Maiden touring next year, festivals you mentioned are the ones that they haven't played this year.

France - DL France, no Hellfest. Next year possible

Germany - Wacken & Rockavaria. RaR obvious option for next year

Austria - Rock n Vienna. Next year Nova Rock. Why not?

anyone can say the same thing about Rammstein or Volbeat. Check the festivals they skipped this year and write a post about them playing there next year. 

[Black_Crow]

Except Rammstein aren't doing festivals next year. 

[DomDom1984]

F**k off liar.

[dentalplan]

I'm not so much thinking BMTH anymore after their Glastonbury placing. I know it's a completely different gig but it just seems a ridiculously low spot for a band with their sights set on the big time. Anyone agree with that?

Can see Biffy headlining Download next year. I don't think any other major will have them headline and that'll be a way for FR to keep them at headline level for the album after this upcoming one.

As usual tho, there seems to be twenty-odd bands that look to be readying new material or tours that could headline and then they by the time Download are about to announce there are only four headliners touring - including Def Leppard.

[Black_Crow]

Funny you should mention Def Leppard....they are likely to be headlining a number of festivals next Summer, doubt they will be at Download though.

That scream we don't have GNR to me. No way could they offer that out if they had to afford them.

yeah i didn't think BMTH were all that likely anyway what with 2017 being the third year of touring That's The Spirit. probably do it on their next album, possibly the year after. Biffy's a good shout though - really isn't anywhere left for them to go unless TITP is willing to give them another shot

i guess as always we can assume that Metallica may well be in the running to be one, especially as you'd assume the new album must be coming out within the next year. been 8 years since Death Magnetic!

Biffy are nailed on for TITP surely?, being Scottish I'd say it's a stick on and Metallica for an easy booking.

I don't think it'll be BMTH but after that info something just as shite like A7X.

[oneoftherest]

From what's being thrown around, BMTH seem nailed on to headline Download next year

Edited June 10, 2016 by oneoftherest

[oneoftherest]

They'd be smart to move BMTH into a headline position too as itll appeal to a new demographic that Download doesn't normally cater too and creates a new headliner for years to come
