Hellfest 2022 (7 days)

Metallica, Guns N'Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, Nine Inch Nails, Bring Me The Horizon, Faith No More, Judas Priest, Five Finger Death Punch

just to name a few that are not playing Download

Just as well that Papa Roach are doing Infest shows in the states back and if the year so hopefully that will come over. Drowning Pool are touring again. Surely they'll grab Limb Bizkit and with ADTR appearing on a few lineups now I reckon they might just be the KISS sub again.

It would be great. I think they would have to accept 5th down though as I don't see a 4th down gap. And zippo subs are done

I find it very hard to imagine all those bands doing a European festival date and not playing UK. Could Sonisphere be about to return? Or a new fest? Cuz thats ALOT of huge bands.

Priest, FNM or FFDP could possibly play, none of them headlined last time they played and haven’t got any bigger since.

(I suppose you could argue that FFDP have got slightly bigger)

Hellfest always book bigger bands though which don't play Download when Sonisphere hasn't been around as much. Just means there is option for UK dates.

BMTH I suspect maybe on a return to Reading and it'll be fine as they are British.

Could maybe see two doing a joint tour. But remember, 4 bands wouldn't have been there in a normal year.

Just about every band I want to see will be on the circuit early next year.

This isn't confirmed yet. Are we sure it's true? It's a huge line up if true & makes Download (particularly Kiss) look very weak in comparison.

We knew that looked weak from the off. It was said from the off, Download booking that far in advance had better options than KISS. Biffy Clyro to be fair too.

It's weird people's take on this is Download should be booking those bands rather than people booking tickets for Hellfest.

Biffy are on a brand new album. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with their booking. 
 

Whether you think they’re a Download headliner or not is besides the point; objectively, them headlining is a fine booking.

It's not that it's not fine but overall look how outdone that 3 is in Europe overall.

At the time of booking though, who knows if those bands were available. Biffy are a guaranteed ticket shifted here but aren’t in Europe. Getting them on an exclusive here is a no-brainier. 
 

KISS is such a glaringly shite booking. They were two years ago; two more years of ageing isn’t going to have done them and their performance capabilities any good. 
 

Maiden are Maiden and will always go down well at Download so I always expected them to be back at the earliest opportunity after not being able to make 2021.

Can't disagree on Maiden and I've not seen them for ages.

Biffy are a ticket shifter but at Download I'm not do sure it's strong. We've already covered previous crowds though.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Imagine having Metallica, Muse, Avenged Sevenfold, NIN, Bring Me the Horizon, Guns n Roses, Foo Fighters, Green Day, all potentially available in Europe around June but being tied in to having bloody Kiss headlining. 

Edited June 16, 2021 by Frankly Mr Shankly

[gabrielomachado]

Metallica, GnR, Foo Fiighters, Bring Me The Horizon, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, A7X are all around and they have KISS to headline

Judas Priest, Faith No More, Placebo, Five Finger Death Punch are all around and they have Steel Panther to headline 2nd

[kaip]

Is that hellfest line up just a guess or been leaked by someone?

leaked by a guy called zegut, he is relatively reliable, Metallica tour have been anounced with a gap on hellfest dates, so it's true
