Lineup 2020

[JSmurphy]

The father of Green Day touring musician Jason Freese has said in a now-removed interview on Instagram that his son is ready to go on a world tour again and next summer is likely.

If download do get Green Day, the pool of "Sunday rock headliners" looks quite small unless QOTSA or something make a comeback next summer. However, we are assuming that Green Day are even coming back themselves in 2020.

If they're out of choices it would be awesome to take a risk on Slipknot with BMTH subbing, The Strokes or something rather than do another KOL type booking (at the end of a huge touring cycle where they've played god knows how many UK festivals) like The Killers.

Would say there are 3 pop-punk bands that could all headline Download next year (Blink, Green Day, ADTR) which is kinda crazy though I doubt they'd get more than 1 of them.

Edit: On BMTH, I could see them headlining Slam Dunk and maybe a few of the smaller festivals like Y Not, Truck etc. if they're willing to take a risk from the usual indie headliners

Not 100% settled yet but probably going for something like this:

IDKHow > Twin Atlantic > Patent Pending > Dream State or the FR Secret Set > YMAS > Wombats > Royal Blood > 1975

Queen Zee > Against The Current > The Hunna > get pissed for three hours > Larkins > Night Riots > 21Pilots

Milk Teeth > Yungblud > The Faim > Enter Shikari > The Story So Far > Pit Secret Set > Frank Carter > ADTR > Foos > Last ten minutes of Bastille if I can be bothered

4pm looks like my designated food break every day.

BMTH won’t do smaller festivals.

That looks but I think there's going to be a hip hop headliner next year 

[Hart Attack]

Why would Yonaka be on 1Xtra?

They've looked superb on their recent tours, and Axl does seem to have mellowed out a little since getting back with Slash.

[jump]

It was funny watching Guns n Roses on the last tours, it looked like Slash and Axel had ii in their contracts not to get too close to each other on stage.

Would fucking love this. Very unlikely though.

Hayley Williams has announced that Paramore are on hiatus and doesn’t see a future for the band. Nothing really shocking there but I guess they can be ruled out for 2020.

On the other hand, it’s a shame how many class bands are likely to be touring in 2020 and Reading probably won’t book them.

No she hasn’t. You’ve massively spun what she has said.

She said that her and the guys in Paramore are really enjoying hanging out and being normal people outside of the band and that she doesn’t know what the future holds or what their next step will be.

Seriously tho, not a single UK festival show on that album cycle .

One of the worst things I've seen. Probably means it'll happen.

To be fair though on the whole the album was very poor, their worst by quite a margin and it's flattened them. I was a huge fan, but I don't think I bothered with their last tour here because the setlist just wasn't what I want for what I'm paying. I've always said if they made another BNE thwy would be fine but there is obviously more unsettling things that went on behind closed doors.

[Andre91]

Yeah, I’m still not a fan of After Laughter either. I’ve tried so hard to like it but I just don’t. They were so, so good at making rock music I wish they’d go back to it. I’m not saying they aren’t good at making pop music, I just think they’re better at making rock. I don’t want them to bring out BNE Part 2 because I don’t think bands should do that, I’d just like to see them add more rock elements back in. They’re still big ticket shifters regardless.
