Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 On 4/17/2019 at 3:28 PM, gabrielomachado said: Don't see AC/DC doing this. If they tour next year it will be their "farewell tour" thing for sure, and they're gonna do a stadium tour or something like that. Download would be too small for them in that circumstances. I don't think you can really call Download too small when the arena has a capacity of 110,000 (I think they have a license to extend to 120,000 if needed) - that's bigger than any stadium in the UK. Plus if it's a farewell tour they could easily do Stadium dates as well later in the year. Download has in the past made changes to accommodate demands - Ozzfest branding in 05, allowing AC/DC their own stage in 10, allowing big headliners no clashes, Download France adding a fourth day to accommodate Guns n' Roses. etc. So I suppose it depends how badly Copping wants to book them & if there is still enough money to be made for LiveNation once everything is considered. I would say they're unlikely but far from impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) AC/DC are gigantic enough to headline Download and play stadiums in the same summer and if it meant getting them on someone sort of ‘farewell’ tour, I could see Copping and Live Nation allowing both to go ahead. The appeal of seeing AC/DC say goodbye at historic Donington on a Saturday, as opposed to potential stadium dates during the week (like Metallica) would be a massive pull for a lot of people.

gabrielomachado Posted April 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 But the point is: would AC/DC play a festival at their last tour? They don't like festivals even in their previous tours, i only remember they playing at Download 2010 and Coachella 2015. Don't know if they would do it again now but it would be great to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1000 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Download France is back next year in late May and apparently are only going to do weekend tickets. Obviously could just be them changing the way they do buisiness for whatever reason, but I reckon it’s because they’ve nabbed AC/DC. Not that it’d mean the Uk one has, mind.

seant007 Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) AC/DC have a high chance of Headlining due to 2 reasons: Brain is Back And it would mark their 40th anniversary of the MOR 1980 gig Edited April 22, 2019 by seant007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSE would be fine subbing the second stage but they’d never get near subbing the main stage. That weird Static-X zombie thing can steer clear of Download altogether, let alone that far up the main stage. Black Keys aren’t a DL band. I think you’ve got two of the headliners though in Rammstein and AC/DC. Edited April 22, 2019 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ve got two of the headliners though in Rammstein and AC/DC. Alter Bridge WILL headline by their next tour cycle, maybe not 2020 because of a band like ADTR or Royal Blood, but they have played download every tour cycle they've had yet, and they will get the bump. As for Black Keys i get that, but you could argue that for Them Crooked Vultures in 2010, which is a very similar act as BEP. Also Copping has always kept an open eye on getting new a list acts ( Die Antwoord, Muse, etc...) to put in the spotlight as a sub headliner (or headliner), just for the record to be cleared. Getting them to Sub AC/DC would be like having QOTSA subbing Maiden in '13 as well. KSE i understand but still a big act with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrielomachado Posted April 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 I've seen somewhere that Alter Bridge were already scheduled to headline in 2017 but Copping got Aerosmith and they were pushed down. I'm sure they will headline next time they play, they're already big enough. All the bands who can play O2 are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Staind’s reunion might be a massive thing in the USA where they loved their meat and potatoes radio rock but I can’t see them playing any higher than mid Main or third down the Second stage over here; essentially where Godsmack and Stone Temple Pilots are this year. I’m with you on Within Temptation though and I think that Mastodon will either play third down Main or headline second. Second stage headliners I’m predicting are: Within Temptation Gojira Don Broco (or Good Charlotte) Edited April 24, 2019 by Andre91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seant007 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yeah I would replace my Staind with either Broco or Charlotte, although Gojira (i love to death) i doubt will get that big of a bump since it would be their first performance there. I'll through Alice Cooper in the mix because of Zombie being a go - to lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Staind are one of my bucket list bands. I hope they get a decent placing. 40mins would be a travesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordie Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Pretty sure the festival would be better with slipknot/falling in reverse/old school bring me the horizon/Metallica or some shit, just personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed BUT Metallica have gone stale IMO, and Old School Ollie will never happen again the way he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Have you seen videos of BMTH live this year? Oli is screaming way more than he has in half a decade. He sounds better now than he ever did scream wise. I think that DL will be keeping an eye on All Points East when BMTH play. Falling In Reverse aren’t allowed here because of Ronnie.

They may be but BMTH's gig at the end of the month that has Architects, RTJ, IDLES and WSS still looks comfortably away from sold out.
