Zakk still plays guitar for Ozzy right? I'd imagine if he plays then they will too.

Yeah he's playing with Ozzy again now so if he's at DL it'll be with him and not BLS, I reckon.

Keep in mind BLS could play the same day as A7x, they did in 2014, 4th down on main to be exact.

Looks like FF are about to announce their UK shows. Let's see if it points to any festival slots around what are (presumably) stadium dates.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Not a chance they're at Download

[RockCatNamedBob]

FF are out of the game this far in you would think.

[thewayiam]

And people ever actually thought FF at Download was going to happen?, that was this year's guarantee if there ever was one. Let's honest, FF are way bigger a deal atm than a Download headline spot....Reading is a different prospect because they love it so aren't bothered....it's also likely more money due to much bigger overall capacity.

Foos are currently experiencing their biggest spike in popularity since Wasting Light. They don't need to play festivals.

It's almost as if they made Sonic Highways deliberately shite and then announced a non-existent hiatus so that the album that came afterwards would seem like a spectacular return, even though it's essentially another by-the-numbers Foos album and they barely even went away. All bands should take note of this genius marketing strategy.

MH as in Machine Head? This was in their latest announcement for the tour:

“No festivals, period! No supporting some stupid DJ! The Head will only be 'Headlining', so come on down and rage!”

Seem like bozos to be honest. If they think they can get on without playing festival slots then whatever but they can (figuratively) die on that hill.

Around then I suppose. 3rd Nov last year the Download headliners came out. Surprised we only have our own thoughts and Zegut's ramblings to go off at this point.

Yeah, same. I'm genuinely excited for an announcement. Loved DL more than any other festival I've ever been to this year.

Don’t reckon so. Dead Cross should be touring.

[Andre91]

Get Fantomas.

New A Perfect Circle song called The Doomed just came out today. I quite fancy them to/hope that they make an appearance next year.
