Seems to put ADTR, Enter Shikari and Brand New firmly into the mix.

I think it puts Shikari and Brand New, not ADTR.

[Luke Routledge]

Every year I hope it's Weezer, managed to see them in Manchester this year and had a great time. If they could pull off Weezer, Jimmy Eat World and Good Charlotte that would be fantastic 

[Gozpot]

Been trying to think who else it could be, obviously Lucky Salt has form so i have no doubt that when he says BIG headliner, we can rely on that.

Brand New
Enter Shikari
The Offspring
Rise Against
Weezer

Maybe Limp Bizkit?

ADTR & 30STM probably both too big?

I'm not sure Rise Against right now would be that bigger deal although I'd like it. 

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Oh fuck I think I know who it is. luckysalt said "big". He didn't say good.

Massive outside bet but by going off what lucky said Paramore? Happens to be 10 years since they played the festival next year 

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Think they're more likely for R/L if they've got a new album out.

Way too big, especially if they have a new album out.

I'm expecting them to be headling R&L.

They are but so were YM@6 when they returned to do it as a thank you almost for kicking them off. I do however think that Paramore is too big even for that and a R&L Exclusive would not surprise me.

YMAS 2 years ago are considerably smaller than Paramore are now, they'd have to upgrade the venues considerably if they got Paramore, South is on a University campus and Panic were pushing it a little bit this year.

I wouldn't say any of the ones we've mentioned are notably big for Slam Dunk bar Twenty One Pilots so god knows who they could have, maybe they've pulled off a big coup and got FOB or Paramore or something, that would be "BIG"

[oneoftherest]

Both of those would be ridiculously big for Slam Dunk, other than that I guess Weezer and Offspring are possibilities

I don't think Shikari are notably big, I guess 30STM could do it but I'd have thought they'd be looking to major headline slots with a new album

5 Seconds of Summer for sure.

Stop saying it, you're making me believe it could be true 

[FestivalPanda99]

In terms of smaller bands not headlining the lower stages, I can see a few hardcore bands such as Being as an Ocean, Capsize, Silent Planet, Casey all playing. Know they are just a select few of bands that out on an incredible show even at a festival.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Enter Shikari just tweeted that tonight is their last show for 6 months. So will be definitely back by Slam Dunk time.

[Gozpot]

Dream Line-Up would be:

Brand New
Jimmy Eat World
Thrice
Marmozets
Sugarcult
Creeper
Casey

Hope we get at least a couple of them.

[Shaun182]

Sugarcult would be decent

[Andre91]

Fall Out Boy playing Infinity On High in full for its 10 year anniversary please. Nah, FOB are way too big. 

Whoever suggested 30STM is having a right laugh. They're way too big as well. 

If the headliner is big, Good Charlotte could be a strong sub to them. 

No idea who this big headliner could be, though... BOX CAR RACER REUNION

Remember seeing Tom Delonge posting a list of some ideas of thing he wants for the next AvA tour so it seems like Box Car Racer is the last thing on his mind, unfortunately.

Who would be "Big" for Slam Dunk?

Bring Me The Horizon (Will almost certainly not be playing at Slam Dunk)
A Day To Remember (Will be Playing at Reading)
Fall Out Boy (Bit Big)
Paramore (Bit Big)
Blink-182 (Bit Big)

I'm struggling to think of who else would be considered "Big".

I'm not sure The Offspring, Brand New, Jimmy Eat World.etc are big enough to be considered "Big"

BMTH will definitely not be there. Not even a slight chance.

ADTR have just as much chance of playing Download as they do Reading.

FoB, Paramore and Blink are all far too big to even be considered.

The Offspring and Brand New maybe, Jimmy Eat World wouldn't be a "BIG" headliner by any stretch of the imagination and are more likely to be subbing underneath this big headliner.

Shikari, Brand New, The Offspring or what Pop Punk Sucks has said...5 Seconds of Summer, although that'd be horrific.

I say this with a decent amount of confidence that A Day To Remember and all of the bands on their tour will be playing at Reading Festival.

BMTH I believe to be headlining Reading, as I've believed for quite some time.

Shikari, Brand New, The Offspring - Luckysalt I'm sure wouldn't come in here and say they were "Big" headliners. I'd say Panic at the Disco and You Me At Six, the last two headliners, are both bigger than those bands - and therefore they wouldn't logically be referred to as "Big"

 

What about Alexisonfire? Wouldn't have said they were "Big" myself but I suppose if you factor in the rarity of them playing a show. Would've thought they'd end up somewhere like 2000 trees if they played in the UK, or playing their own shows. Slam Dunk doesn't seem like their bag.

 

Or Weezer?

 

Or Busted?!
