I've just realised that Copenhell is also the same weekend as Hellfest and Graspop, which is the weekend after Download. Given how relatively close all 3 of those festivals are its gonna be tempting for bands to do all 3 I think so could lead to some big names being available for Download! 

some of these festivals have released something? i only saw rumours for hellfest

Oh Copenhell have Merciful Fate but that doesnt mean much for the rest given that band are Danish. Im more getting at that given Download weekend is Nova Rock too and week before is Rock AM/IM I think more bands than usual are going to be tempted to do a European Festival run as these big ones are clustered together in a 3 week space this year. Doing all 7 fests in 3 weeks would be one hell of a festival run for any band so its gotta be tempting managers and labels!

Just saw the news of the Mercyful Fate reunion/european festival tour in 2020. Would be amazing but i don't know how big they are in england

Too soon? obviously, but Reading lineup topics starts even early so i guess I'll do the same for DL

 

my (very, very) early predictions

 

Alter Bridge / Parkway Drive / Greta Van Fleet 

2nd: The Offspring or Scorpions (i thought about someone already stabilized to compete with the new bands on top of the bill)
_________
Metallica / Ghost / Alice In Chains

2nd: Sabaton (finishing before Metallica)
_________

Iron Maiden / Architects / Five Finger Death Punch

2nd: Don Broco or Enter Shikari

 

i guess it's time to Alter Bridge finally headline, what i think they should have done in 2017 if it wasn't for Aerosmith. there's an urgent need of new blood headlining. Metallica can be doing something similar that Guns N'Roses did, playing stadiums and coming back on the following year to do festivals, so i think we can see them finally playing after 4 years on a row of speculations. And Iron Maiden could be there as well just because they never stop touring  

Agree ref new blood are Alter bridge main stage headliners definitely 2nd stage headliners?? Bring me the horizon maybe, Bullet 4 my Valentine, I’d say maybe even Five finger death Punch and you have them billed 3rd.  Metallica said they’re not doing festivals anymore but would love them too as I refuse to pay there over inflated stadium ticket prices (Twice the price of Maiden and the thought put into there show compared to Maiden 0) Maiden are a real possibility, there are string Rumours AC/DC will do the whole festival scene, eventually Foo Fighters will headline download, I’m struggling past the names mentioned, definitely WONT BE Rammstein as they play Cardiff the same weekend !!

These are comments from nearly a year ago, the fuck are you dragging them out of the woodwork for?

Metallica to be the ones doing very festival on that June/July festival circuit.

Glastonbury weekend is a no-fly zone on the Metallica schedule, if that makes any difference.

Genuinely can’t see them taking Hardwired into another summer. Think they’ll have next summer off, barring a potential guest slot at Glastonbury.

I know Lars loves the place but have any of the others shown any real desire to return, and during their rare down time at that? I’m all for team #metallicasecretset but can also only really see it happening when they’re touring, which I agree seems unlikely.

[gabrielomachado]

Metallica tour only for 3 weeks in a row since 2017, then they go home and rest for 2/3 weeks or more. the june festivals dates would fit perfectly for them. starts with rock am ring/im park in 5-7th and ends up with hellfest and graspop in 19-21

Had totally not realised it was the same this year!? Though Hellfest and Copenhell's profile's have deffo been raised recently. Anyway i'm deffo also thinking Metallica will come over and smash those 7 festivals out, makes sense for them to end their Hardwired tour with some festival dates.

[gabrielomachado]

Judas Priest for Wacken 2020, so they will be touring summer next year...

[Andre91]

Definitely expecting Priest to sub after that Wacken announcement. 

ADTR / Limp Bizkit / Sum 41 

Within Temptation 

Metallica / Judas Priest / Mastodon 

Don Broco 

KISS / Ghost / Greta Van Fleet 

Gojira 

[Spiral_Low]

Im thinking:

Korn, Deftones or Limp Bizkit, FFDP

Metallica, Alice In Chains, Disturbed

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ghost

I'm thinking AIC, Dusturbed and Ghost will all turn up as they have done/are doing arena's this year. Korn and Deftones should be touring too. 

[gabrielomachado]

Busted are way big for the Avalanche stage anyway. They just wouldn’t play

also Dead! definitely split up and I think Gnarwolves also have 

What? Gnarwolves split up? When?

Huge shame as great live band.

By the way, yeah Dead! have definitely split.

They broke up last year, one of them have gone and formed a new band High Praise.

Have they actually? ? I thought they’d just disappeared. If they’ve officially split that sucks. I saw them a bunch and they were always great. 

[huntyyy]

Gnarwolves have not officially "split up", however the members are doing other things for the time being.
