Or they could be main support at Gunnersbury to someone like Deftones?

Would make more sense. Cant see R&L sticking Papa Roach third / fourth down Main Stage in 2025.

There was an awful lot of people in rock and metal merch all weekend at Leeds and Spiritbox drew a decent crowd but they stood out like a sore thumb even on the rock day.

Spiritbox are a proper buzz band who Live Nation will be looking at as a big money maker in the near future. Them playing R&L was well out of place and they were by far the heaviest band on the entire lineup all weekend. 
 

Papa Roach don’t have that buzz.

I saw a hell of a lot more BMTH merch than anything else, not even just on the blink day

Yeah that’s fair but R&L might just think they’re selling dates well and it’ll get people through the door. Especially if they did happen to get Linkin Park (I still can’t see it but you never know, if not Download it has to be BST or R&L for the money and it does seem like they’re chasing the cash).

Might try this as a backup to Glastonbury .... are tickets easy to obtain / sell on ?

Its only fully sold out once in the 20 odd years it's been going, you won't need to worry

Personally think that's an horrendous call, that would actually put me off going as I would leave after them.

Ok but by that logic you wouldn't be going anyway.

No but I'd like to be going for Roach but having Deftones is a no go for me, they aren't for me past about 1 song at all. I wouldn't see how they match up to book.

You don’t see how Papa Roach likely doing Infest wouldn’t match up with Deftones? A band who’s three albums around that time were Adrenaline, Around The Fur and White Pony? 
 

Who would you want to see headline above P Roach?

No I don't see how a band like Papa Roach that don't nothing like Detfones with albums sounding much different would match up. One is a metal alternative and one's a rock band.

 

I would have have had them play with an ADTR or below Limp Bizkit on their day for example.

[Andre91]

I’d like to think Deftones wouldn’t pick someone as sh*t as Papa Roach to support them, anyway.
