AC/DC are strongly rumoured to perform at download.If they did would that rule them out? On a personal level I’d like to see Kings Of Leon and U2 

where did you get that info? Download headliners for next year are Rammstein, Iron Maiden and Avenged Sevenfold

Would they want Rammstein at the moment???

[SweetJesus]

Maybe things change, but for now, Rammstein are still in the game.

Given AC/DC’s insistance on complete control for their gigs, I doubt they’d play BST.  Don’t think KoL are big enough draw, and U2 don’t ever play these type of things.

I would say KoL are but I think there shows this year were the final in this tour run

On the subject of U2, I'm disappointed they're only doing this Achtung Baby anniversary shows in Las Vegas. Setting aside my misgivings about the fact it's with a stand-in drummer, I think AB is U2's best album but them saying Vegas only puts the idea of seeing it out of my mind as it would be a f**k of a lot to do it. I know it was custom designed for that big Sphere thing there, but still.

This does suggest that there has been some  burying of hatchets....

I've started getting a lot of targeted advertising on social media for Amex and AXS related to BST 2024 - not sure if that suggests an announcement might be coming soon.

Ed sheeran playing Southside in Germany end of June. Must be a potential headliner.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Any rumours for BST yet? @Suprefan you've normally got your finger on the pulse for this one. You nailed all of the acts last year, IIRC

Actually no. Nailed a few, come on.

Someone on the Download forums who claims to know someone who has BST info has said there’s a day lineup up that comprises of: 
 

Green Day / The Smashing Pumpkins / Rancid / Weezer

Would be very surprised if that was true given Rancid subbed Green Day there last time they played and SP/Weezer already have an arena tour. But I’d be there in a heartbeat if that was true

[Jericode]

That feels like someone has just taken the US tour and added Weezer given they're already doing dates with Pumpkins.

Whilst Green day make sense as a headliner, SP and Weezer wouldnt play since they have that extensive joint tour

Seems like complete overkill towards selling out imo

Green Day and just 1 of those supports would sell it out

Rhianna has signed a major livenation deal, so a slot at BST would be very likely ( 2024 or 2025)

BST is promoted by AEG though, so the main rivals.

That doesn't entirely rule her out, those lines can be crossed, but wouldn't call her likely.

It's now a co-pro so LN artists are possible
