They've got a page on socia media which is the verified one and where they actually do reply.

Someone said Download after people mentioned other country shows and they said a straight No.

I mean they do still have shows to sell but they could just say we've yet to be asked which would at least make people still buy tickets as it's uncertain.

Now Alter Bridge and Halestorm (who are self confirmed) your has finished I wonder if we'll get another announcement soon? I did wonder if they'd do a 'xmas present ' one but nothing yet.

Aye. They will know the tour still has loads to sell and by actually saying a flat out no it might help it.

I mean the tour is venues way bigger than it should be. Don Broco are one of those bands that even if they are doing arenas, they are not an arena band really.

Given Papa Roach are doing early summer festivals and they have a Spain date the weekend before 2000 Trees, plus later July they are back in Canada touring. They clearly aren't doing a fee dates back there and coming back to do Reading.

They are the right level band to headline Trees and maybe fancy it instead.

I doubt it given Don broco are on the Reading and Leeds poster already.

That is a good point. The act that should be selling it the tour the most are already announced. And lets be air they knew this Reading would not just fly out.

Or they will play at Rock for People Sat/Sun!

Did even think of that. They could indeed be doing that Sunday.

If I had to guess I'd say Tress have got them. I'd find it odd for them not to do their own tour on an album.

They aren't going to return to Canada later July and then return one month later for Reading and they are booked for Graspop so not Puckel Pop option either.

Their tour dates lineup very heavily with doing Trees before they go home. That or Slam Dunk the weekend before RAR which would be ace.

i want arch enemy pantera and amon amarth to be added. the last 2 are difficult based on their festival schedule.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I reckon there's some sort of beef between Papa Roach and Download, haven't played in ages and are around most summers in Europe

The word from leakers on the forums is that currently Pantera are not booked to play.

I would love Amon Amarth and Arch Enemy. With all the festivals they are doing I'm hopeful.

I’d love Papa Roach headlining 2000 Trees. Would be such a good time.

Trees usually make an announcement in January with a previous one coming early on.

I'd expect a Slam Dunk announcement too. I find it odd Slam Dunk would push a gig for sales than doesn't benefit them to do now unless they benefit.

Papa Roach aren't going to be headlining 2000trees. They don't fit the vibe of that festival whatsoever.

Yeah agreed they aren't a fit for that crowd at all.

That is one thing I do agree on as well. They do however comfortably fit in with Shikari and Billy Talent at Slam Dunk given they would one one of the higher up bands.

So excuse my naivety. i was there for the start of the Papa Roach journey, no i wont reveal my age hahaha, are they quite popular still / or again then? Seems quite a lot of chat on here about them? 

I know they still release stuff but just not been on my radar for years. I would enjoy seeing them for the early days stuff mind you.

I like them but wouldn't say they were the most popular thing around.

Papa Roach are shite

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

New names for Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring announced

Definitely a much weaker lineup than previous years. 

[justanothername]

Rise Against headlining? Are they really that big in Europe?

[LazyDavid]

Gone through and taken out anyone already announced for Download & Slam Dunk next year, theoretically all the remaining could play at Download? Buzzing for Kings of Leon 😆

Well, "any of", not all, but wouldn't be surprised to see some overlap. 

Not much logo space left at Download 23 after Halestorm already self-confirmed. Could also mean Alter Bridge are on the bill as they were on tour here together with tickets to sell at the time, so not featured in wave one. Forum leaker says Lamb of God were booked but their UK dates have all shifted (again) so who knows what's going on there.
