I am sure Metallica said their Hardwired Tour would be 2017,2018 and 2019.

And having played/ playing  Europe this summer , not sure if they would come back so soon

Their most recent output themselves is certainly a bit more mainstream than previously too.

No it hasn’t. Bad Vibrations was far less ‘commercial’ sounding and more raw and heavier that Common Courtesy.

Whilst I'd say they need to, I don't see Download going for two new headliners in the same year.

Big fan of some of those choices though.

Honestly your posters are better quality than the official ones .

[Andre91]

That poster is beautiful. 

I don’t think Alter Bridge will headline. Their tour is massive and in December. Download usually have all of their headliners announced in October/November and AB will need to shift as many tickets as they can. 

I’m going with Blink-182, Rammstein and KISS as headliners, with KISS’ set being their final ever UK show.

I’ll work on a lineup and post it in a bit. 

[Steve1000]

Imma go for ADTR, Metallica, Rammstein

[VCK]

Can see them getting a "Reading and Leeds-esque" headliner, someone like Blink 182, Green Day, QOTSA or Foo Fighters.

[Andre91]

If they have a new album out in time, I could see Enter Shikari returning with a far bigger slot. The Avalanche tent was packed out so far beyond the tent. It was impossible to get through at the start of their set. It started to filter out as Tool approached but they packed it out (as expected).

Agree completely, feel it would be main stage if they did return because if they were on Zippo they'd have to headline and I doubt they'd book them to headline a stage 2 years running.

Took us about 4 songs to get from the back to the main pit, got some dirty looks whilst pushing through haha!!! 

 

 

[R Shah]

Anyone know the prices for Alter Bridge's arena tour? 

[Jericode]

Heard £51 all-in for Glasgow so imagine it's similar elsewhere bar London.

[Andre91]

I’ve put together what I think is a realistic lineup. As much as I want it with all my heart, I can’t see them giving ADTR the push if they can get away with having them under Blink if they’re coming over here doing Enema. 

 

Main: Blink-182 (Enema of the State) / A Day To Remember / Architects / Papa Roach / While She Sleeps / FEVER 333 / Employed To Serve 

Zippo: Mastodon / The Mars Volta 

Avalanche: The Ghost Inside / Every Time I Die 

Dogtooth: Dimmu Borgir / Wednesday 13

 

Main: Rammstein / Disturbed / Gojira / Killswitch Engage / Code Orange / Billy Talent / Soulfly / Jinjer 

Zippo: Within Temptation / Staind

Avalanche: Pierce The Veil / PVRIS

Dogtooth: Cannibal Corpse / Decapitated 

 

Main: KISS (final UK show) / Judas Priest / Greta Van Fleet / Alestorm / Baroness / Arch Enemy / The Wildhearts / Lovebites 

Zippo: Don Broco / Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes 

Avalanche: Jimmy Eat World / The Menzingers 

Dogtooth: Testament / Obituary

Any predictions on the non-metal acts that are creeping in to the line-up (cf Die Antwoord)

I think Rodrigo y Gabriela would go down very well, actually surprised they haven't played it already.

Run The Jewels are the obvious ones. I think Tyler, The Creator a couple of albums ago would have been perfect. 

I think that artists like Scarlxrd, Ghostemane, $uicideboy$ and City Morgue would go down well. 

Carpenter Brut seems overdue.

Death Grips would go down a storm at Download.

These guys are definitely heavy enough to fit right in and nobody would even blink!

All the other suggestions seem spot on to me too.

Said this after watching Die Antwoord on Saturday! Would be an incredible booking!

Saw them in Leeds the other week and the crowd seemed to have a lot of metal/hard rock fan types, they've always had that crossover appeal.

Might be wrong but personally I can't see Download booking that show for Blink 182.
