Seems a bit odd to keep BSC back after announcing the other five bands in the top six. Is there anyone else it'd make sense for? Stone Sour would be a decent guess on that basis I think.

Stone Sour are booked on the date of download correct?

[DomDom1984]

Just forgot they've got "only UK shows" anyways.

[dannymichaels]

So out of these, who can't you see playing?

- Within Temptation

- Ghost

- Hollywood Undead

- Architects

- Enter Shikari

- Trivium

- Falling In Reverse

- The Used

- While She Sleeps

- Killswitch Engage

- Crossfaith

- 30STM

- Papa Roach

[DomDom1984]

I don't see Shikari, Architects, The Used, Killswitch or 30STM playing.

30stm, Architects, and (sorry) the Used.

Killswitch come nearly every tour, I don't see why not for them.

[dannymichaels]

To add I'd probably say Within Temptation is unlikely as well

Where have you seen that, dude? There’s a couple in there who were already announced but other than that that looks realistic. 

[dentalplan]

Looks pretty good that.

Saw Neck Deep at a meet and greet, was talking to Ben (the singer) and he said that he would be clashing with Guns N Roses, so surely they will be headlining third stage?

I think most had 'em pegged to headline third anyway but a bit surprised they're against GNR.

Looks a really strong line up, like I'm sure there are gonna be acts lower than had been predicted just looking at the strength of acts they've announced.

 

[deadash321]

You Me At Six have a show announcement tomorrow. Rob from enter shikari said they have one uk show announcement coming soon. These could potentially be download related.

YMAS have a show announcement tomorrow so I could see them headlining second against Avenged playing TOYC in full.

I'm with this, think the Download "Leaked" announcement isn't 100%.

I don't buy it. 

 

Black Stone Cherry just announced 2 Ireland shows the week of Download, I can't see them not being on this next announcement. This just seems like someone's done festival maths and grabbed 61 bands, either way I imagine a lot of those will be present.

[Steve1000]

If true I'm guessing

Avenged // Bullet // ?? (Trivium maybe for the big 4) // Killswitch

??

GNR // Hollywood Vampires // Volbeat

Parkway Drive

Ozzy Osbourne // Marylin Manson / Alice In Chains

Rise Against

[BigG94]

Avenged Sevenfold and Killswitch Engage go hand in hand tbh

[Andre91]

I’m going for a final prediction, taking some of the obvious ones from that list and some of what I had anyway: 

Avenged Sevenfold / Bullet For My Valentine / Enter Shikari / Killswitch Engage / Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes / Code Orange / Black Peaks 

You Me At Six (TOYC in full) / Black Veil Brides / Hollywood Undead 

CKY

Meshuggah

 

Guns ‘N Roses / Black Stone Cherry / Volbeat / Joan Jett & The Blackhearts / The Hives / Baroness / Bodycount ft. Ice T / The Pink Slips 

Parkway Drive / Babymetal / Jonathan Davis 

Neck Deep 

Kreator 

 

Ozzy Osbourne / Marilyn Manson / Ghost / Alice In Chains / Shinedown / Hatebreed / Avatar / Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons / Greta Van Fleet 

Rise Against / Alexisonfire / Asking Alexandria 

Converge 

Tesseract
