Who saw the cryptic post pop up on fightstars Facebook earlier ? 
could we be seeing Charlie and the gang return to donnington next year?

Seems to be a tour being announced on Monday for June which would rule them out of Download

Karnivool!!! They must be doing the festival rounds then as they've spoken in the past about the financial difficulty about coming to Europe. 

Also interesting to note AX7 the only headliner announced for Copenhell and Foo Fighters the only headliner announced for Hellfest. Deffo feels like their are a couple of big bands coming to Europe that can't be announced yet.

Just had a look at RAR's Facebook and looks like they are planning to announce their entire line up which is good of them. Wish other fests would take a note.

Oh man I am all over that. Thought Charlie might’ve packed Fightstar in for good and just be sticking to the big Busted paydays.

Either shows they have a really strong line up or that the line up would look weaker when released across multiple announcements

Not that they seemed likely at this point, but Green Day officially out - headlining IOW.

Download have really dropped the ball. Rock Am Ring/Im Park and Greenfield both have Green Day.

Yup and Reading will probably try and get them next year. IOW can get Green Day but Download can't says it all.

And then Download ends up with Avenged Sevenfold, Queens of The Stone Age and seemingly Fall Out Boy although they look unlikely currently as they've not been announced for any other European festivals currently

My thoughts exactly, festival is crying out for different headliners, Green Day are huge and put on a great show, it would have been a great booking

[northernangel]

Download have got the ability to book quite a decent festival with the undercard names around in Europe....it is whether they do or not.

[BrutalLegend]

Download really need to drop the bands can’t headline if they tour bollocks, miss out on so many bands who could headline.

UK and then 3 shows in Germany so wouldn't stop them being announced for various European festivals 

[JimMacVeigh]

I know it seems all but confirmed

for FOB, QUEENS and A7X but I wonder if Parkway Drive might be making the step up to main stage headliner?

next time they play, for sure. i believe they will get the bump in 2026 with Ghost before them in 2025

If Fall Out Boy play are we expecting them to do the Saturday?

I’d imagine Beartooth would be a logo band now, similar size to I Prevail who played 3rd down main stage.

Are we all taking A7X/FOB/QOTSA as cast iron now? Anyone out there still not given up hope that there might be another headliner in the mix? Surely someone can give us a decent alternative to hope for over the next few days at work...?

Fall Out Boy haven't been announced for any European festivals currently. If they're not announced for Nova Rock tomorrow then chances are either Download has them as an exclusive for some reason or they're not doing festivals
