From the announcement on their website (thankfully): 'Really hope you’re as excited as we are!? There’s plenty more where that came from, including of course your Friday & Saturday headliners.' Gaslight the only headliner announced so far.

That’s interesting - but fair enough! Hoping the sub Gaslight as that’ll be enough for a day ticket for me

Bloodstock announcement

Bloodstock looks pretty good. I do wonder why the exclusivity on some of those bands but I'm not a booker so what do I know. Opeth may regret that fan-picked set but I bet it'll turn out ace.

Bearded Theory got Jane's Addiction as a headliner so I guess that rules them out of Download? Shame as that's a band I haven't seen since their tour with NIN in 2009. I missed the Download they played as was away travelling.

That's a great line-up. About time a festival started booking interesting and niche acts. A great variety yet shares a lot of crossover with fans, very impressed.

Get over to Bearded. Best festival around.

Interesting... Wouldn't be surprised to see Avril Lavigne below FOB (and it would be brilliant).

It's possible but still think she could be 3rd down. I think this puts Pendulum very likely for Glastonbury headlining the Woodsies one night or potentially WH.

Corey be headlining Avalanche I think.

Too big, he will be a logo slot on main or 2nd

[foolee]

Avril a given to be subbing or 3rd down on FOB day? Will bring in lots of day tickets for sure. Get SUM 41 over the weekend and pop punk fans will be happy especially with how the Slam Dunk lineup has gone down. 

[callum97]

Yeah I think it will be

FOB/The Offspring/ Avril 

imo

With his solo band? I doubt it, Stone Sour only do 2nd stage headliner or 3rd main and they’re bigger than CMFT, he doesn’t sell out venues with his solo band.

I think Corey will play the second stage, either subbing or third down.

And yet his solo tour starting next week sold out in a few hours

Yup, given what Halestorm can sell and they were 3rd down I'm expecting that. I don't think The Offspring with go 3rd down myself. I actually think if they booked Sum 41 to headline second stage that day they might sell the day out because I would definitely attend.

I think he'd prefer to headline Avalanche though and I'm sure they would have him if he asked.
