Zakk will cut the chords again for sure

Zakk hasn't left yet, he's only part way through his solo.

It means that they're touring in Europe around the same time as Download. Also seems that one of their headliners plays DL every year (well I didn't look beyond 2014 as I couldn't be bothered). Ozzy in 18, Aerosmith in 17, Maiden in 16, Judas Priest in 15 and Twisted Sister in 14.

Kiss, Slipknot, Def Leppard?

2019 lineup.

I feel like if Korn were going to headline it would have been like 2006 when they were still very popular but instead they played the second stage headlining slot.

Too much Farts in the marshals with that one!

I dunno. This is an exclusivo for the whole of Spain, and Download Madrid had all of last year's UK headliners. So the headliners at Barcelona might start to look like acts Download didn't bother getting.

Metallica's tour is almost certainly getting announced on Monday. Two leaked stadium dates already so it will more than likely rule out them and whoever their support acts are, but worth mentioning anyway seeing as I imagine many from here will be looking at going.

Volbeat let slip somewhere that they’re supporting (I’m guessing the UK seeing how they can play stadiums themselves in most of Europe). Ghost are supporting a leaked date too. 

Heard a rumour that A7X are going to be supporting too which is mad.

Was the case on the American leg of the tour right?

Don't see it happening over here mind.

Yeah they did a leg that was A7x and Gojira supporting

Yeah, I’m aware they did it there but I’ve heard they’re doing it in Europe too. I don’t believe it for a moment. 

I’m calling Rammstein for 2020. Their new album is ‘almost done’ and they’ve been recording orchestra and choir parts. I’ve got a feeling the album won’t be ready until the second half of 2019 so 2020 makes more sense when the album is out.

Those bits will be the very last bits added to an album, surely? They don't even have to be present for that. I think their album will be out before Slipknot's, and I think they'll headline Download again a year before Slipknot do as well.

2019: BMTH, Rammstein, KISS
2020: Korn, Slipknot, Maiden

Roll back up on these Metallica leaked dates; UK stadia?

Slane Castle and Stade de France are the ones I've read about. But yeah you'd assume so from those.

I like to think I'd be safe holding off on buying those given the size of the venues but honestly not sure how they'd sell here these days in stadiums.

[LiamEP]

Would Metallica just do one stadium in London or are they more likely to do a northern date and a Scottish date too?

[DownboundTrain52]

Given that their only other UK stadium date this century was a one-off in London, I'd guess just that, yeah (with Mastodon, Machine Head and HIM in tow).

Their only other big outdoor gig, excluding festivals and Live Earth, was a Milton Keynes Bowl show in 1993, with Megadeth, Diamond Head and The Almighty.

That Wembley setlist from 07 wasn't half-bad, mind:

1 Creeping Death
2 For Whom the Bell Tolls
3 Sad But True
4 Disposable Heroes
5 The Unforgiven
6 ...And Justice for All
7 The Memory Remains
8 The Four Horsemen
9 Orion
10 Fade to Black
11 Master of Puppets
12 Battery

13 No Leaf Clover
14 Nothing Else Matters
15 One
16 Enter Sandman

17 Whiplash
18 Seek and Destroy

Definitely trying to bury St Anger at that point, it would seem...

[devilman]

They'd never fill a Scottish stadium. They're not Ed Sheeran enough and it's not that long since they played the Hydro. Gerry Cinnamon would honestly fill Hampden before Metallica.

Might make Ghost less likely for Download if they’re supporting ‘tallica across all dates. If that’s the case and they miss 2019, I think Ghost will be a headliner next time they play. 

2019: KoRn, Slipknot, Def Leppard 

2020: A Day To Remember, Rammstein, KISS

There is a part of me leaning towards it simply being Download in the UK, but stadia would be an interesting call.

I really think that Slipknot will tour Europe doing their debut in full. The only part of me that goes against it is like you’ve said before; where does that leave Slipknot when the new album comes out? They can’t headline any other festival in the UK. 

It’d never ever happen but Download could have Slipknot two years on the bounce playing completely different sets and would still shift a massive amount of tickets.
