Today's DL social media reads like a Greenday hint... Green firework smoke coupled with "Wake us up when it's June".

 

Seems pretty clear, but don't remember them playing the hints game in previous years - anyone got a better memory than me?!

Weren't there loads of Black Parade references earlier this year?

Sleep Token supporting Linkin park in Paris in November.

 

I've had a feeling Sleepy T were going to be at Download but not headlining. Just think it's too soon for Download to take a punt on them and they'd want a more gradual rise. Subbing Linkin Park makes so much sense. 

 

 

Paris ain't their home turf where they've practically sold out 7 arenas. They'll be there in a headline slot or not there (but they'll be there). 

 

Would like to imagine they've got LP but the more time passes the more I think they've missed LP and Reading+Leeds have them instead, could still be though.

Not really. Andy Copping tagged a dog plush as #theblackparade or something like that as it was a similar style but the headliners were already long since announced so some assumed they were the secret set for some reason! Nothing like the main Download page posting a hint towards a famous lyric and photoshopping a photo in their colour scheme after the band themselves have been announced at other festivals and leaked as playing Download here!

I'm going to go Linkin Park - Green Day - Pearl Jam as my final prediction

 

France has no bearing on Download. Sleep Token subbing makes no sense for the band who don't really like playing in daylight.

Nothing of those dates suggests Download would be out.

What dates, this year's tour..? No, wouldn't have any impact at all, it's more piecing together of info from a few people who either definitely or might know things. Not saying it's off the table as things obviously change but right now I'm leaning towards them doing Leeds + Reading instead based on a few factors.

Franky C & the Sexy Ps are there, apparently.

3rd down on the Green Day, day?

Fella mentioned it on the DL forums who has known stuff in the past. Just posted a simple ‘Frank Carter & The Sex Pistols will be there.’ 
 

I think third down Green Day day personally but wouldn’t be too shocked if they had them sub.

I'm very unsure on them now with the latest Turbo info. It's definitely nothing against him but that's all I had to suggest there was another festival and other info was wrong.

What was his other info?

Iron Maiden playing a festival that they now can't play due to their tour.

[BrutalLegend]

Do we usually get bands that play the American fests before June? Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, Alice In Chains all announced at Sonic Temple.

Korn *might* be headlining next year

I'm afraid it looks like it's Sleep Token, Green Day and Korn

Assumed it was for a couple of weeks.

 

Once the headliners are out mate, do you mind saying who the other band you heard was?

It’s that trio you’ve just said, isn’t it. KoRn are a backup. 
 

 

[Siddey1994]

Sleep Token | Green Day | Korn is a trio I can very much get behind, and I think will sell very well despite some concerns here and on the DL forums.

Me too. Very happy with that trio. Stick something good against Green Day so I can wander off when I get bored and it’ll be golden. 
 

It will go down better than last year, I’m sure of that. Sleepy T fans will fly in from all over for it, Green Day sit at the very top table of massive touring bands and KoRn always pull a headline sized crowd. It’ll be received just fine, I think. 
 

 

[Audiorocker]

Are we ruling out Linkin Park, Slipknot and Iron Maiden completely? Korn and Green Day are a good draw but struggle to get excited about Sleep Token...unless the second stage etc are filled well.
