Guess or kinda inside knowledge? (As that would make my year!)

Just a guess, but was mainly based on them asking Geoff whilst he was there this year but now he's not

The Gaslight Anthem would be lovely, but might depend whether they sign up for the full European festival run next summer.

That said, would be staggered if they weren't in the conversation to sub Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at TW Classic, given he and Brian Fallon clearly have some kind of friendship.

The Offspring have just announced a European arena tour ending on 25th May in France with no UK date, surely a stick on to headline next year?

Surely!! 

Would be rad.

They could just be doing Download again, but 2.5 weeks after that date is a bit strange. The Offspring and Rancid to headline.

[NorthernSoul52]

Yep, that looks like The Offspring.

The shows at the back end of last year (I think?) were great fun, if also among the shortest headline gig I can ever remember seeing at an arena.

[Jericode]

Had to skip the tour last year because of a wedding so I'll be made up if they've got Offspring headlining.

All we need now is for Slam Dunk to have pinched The Distillers as well to sub the Jagermeister stage before these play main stage.

Tasty. Very tasty.

Would still fancy The Gaslight Anthem, but the more I think about it, very much a band who will figure better at their own shows.

Hotel already booked ! gonna be weird having it on a Sunday !

would love to see bad omens at sdf after there euro runs in feb/march

and spiritbox would be another good shout

oh and hope they rebook refused ....

as for headliners - that'll be interesting ! 

[NorthernSoul52]

The Offspring would be a solid hour of entertainment, it has to be said.

[thewayiam]

Going with NOFX, Descendents and Less Than Jake for PID next year.

Fireworks been getting fairly active again recently with them teasing their new album to be released this year and now touring again with The Wonder Years. They've surely got to play next year.

Four Year Strong doing Rise or Die Trying in full in the US at the end of the year. I can see them doing that over here at Slam Dunk

Enemy Of The World, isn’t it? Either way, it would be sick.

Yeah it's Enemy of the World. No idea why I said Rise or Die Trying, my brain has stopped working. They might actually do a tour for it over here like they did for Rise or Die Trying (I went and it was sick) but given that they've pulled out of 2 Slam Dunks I reckon they'll be back next year and this just seems like the perfect place for these anniversary shows.

[LazyDavid]

Would be very happy with that!

[Jericode]

Enemy of the World is my favourite album of theirs and I've played it loads recently, would absolutely love them doing it in full.

[Pottsy2913]

Highly doubt it (don't think they've ever played in the UK?), but would love to see Anarbor in a slot somewhere

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Would be well up for an Enemy of the World set

[DomDom1984]

I just want NOFX to be gone for years. To say I've had my fill of them would be an understatement.

The Offspring tick my festival boxes so would be an excellent headliner IMO. Plenty of jumping and singing and stuff. All I really want or need right there. Any chance of Rise Against here?

I'd love Rise Against, argue they could headline a stage (or maybe sub The Offspring?)
