No it doesn't, Wembley Arena isn't that big and for a band that rarely come here it should have sold ages ago.

Well it's more than previous subs have done. So like it or not, it puts them in the range of being a sub quite easily.

Talking of Weezer does anyone want a spare for Birmingham on Friday night as I have a spare on twickets? 

I’m thinking if Weezer do anything UK related they may support Foo Fighters stadium shows as they have a run with them on their stadium shows in NZ and AUS

The UK don't get toursthat good generally, although I admit that Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World supporting MK Bowl a few years ago was probably the one gig I should have attended.

Don't be silly.

It is more than other subs have done though, and unlike someone like say Nightwish, Weezer are a big enough name that they can play high slots they don't necessarily deserve

Ripped this straight from the Werchter thread: Pearl Jam will be touring Europe in 2018. Thought it's worth a mention, however unlikely they may be.

IOW or BST I reckon. They don't do heavy festivals, do they?

Zegut has today said GNR and Ozzy for DL. Wonder who the third will be if that is correct? The Prodigy, maybe? I'm going for A7X.

He didn’t say it today, did he? He said Metallica before those two as well so if that info was correct then I’d assume it all is.

But I’m sceptical because he doesn’t seem to have said it’s definite yet. A7X instead of GNR seems more reasonable.

Metallica, GnR and Ozzy would be a ridiculously strong set of headliners, but almost definitely too much so so one of em’s gotta give.

Pointlessly strong. May aswell ditch Ozzy for A7X and ticket sales won't be affected at all.

This.

[Red Day]

Metallica, GnR and A7X would be insanely great set of headliners

[Andre91]

Wasn't there something about a 2019 headliner already being booked? If it is GNR & Ozzy, I would would wager on Metallica being the one booked for 2019. 

[Mattymooz]

I guess BMTH then gets skipped? I kinda expect them to be at R&L in 2019 tbh but I guess maybe they could stretch to 2020?

[Gucci Piggy]

Is he talking about Download UK or France?

[SOAD]

Would probably be too strong but this would definitely get me there next year:

Nine Inch Nails
Marilyn Manson
Enter Shikari - would prob swap them and Manson nowadays

Metallica
A Perfect Circle
Stone Sour

Guns N Roses
Evanescence
Alice in Chains

Can't be that far out of the realms of possibility.

Don't see Ozzy doing Download UK at the moment as he has toured Europe loads of times and never done Download UK and Black Sabbath were so recent.

Any lineup featuring NIN as a headliner isn't too strong. Infact, I'd describe that as going the other way.

They'd balance out Metallica and Guns like Tool did. I was more meaning six bands who could arguably sub headline below the headliners.

[DomDom1984]

I'd think Manson and Shikari could both play the same day with one headlining second. The others you could have a point on.

[Hazz]

Saw Metallica last night in London and unless they are keeping it on the quiet they didn’t mention coming here for any uk festivals next year.

Someone always beats me to the punch  

Wonder what the reason behind that is?

Hmm, not sure. Probably nothing major. 

I see Iron Maiden are supposedly playing Hellfest.

Would be a right larf if they were at Download again.

Might be that a headliner is wanting to announce all of their Euro fests at once? Who knows. 

 Jesus Christ, if they've got Maiden again
