So as mentioned, Green Day, Sleep Token and Korn are the heavily rumoured bands for Download that reliable info points at. There is the question though of what Slipknot are gonna do, as it would be really unusual for them to come over to Europe to play fests and not do anything in the UK. There's also a headliner that Nova Rock and Rock AM/IM haven't announced which could be Linkin Park, given they are expected to do Euro fests next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I know the info on Green Day, Sleep Token & Korn is reliable, but I will be really shocked if Linkin Park are around at the right time and not playing Download given the history they have with it. Unless of course they’ve chosen to avoid it for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course they’ve chosen to avoid it for that reason. I personally think if Download have booked both ST and Korn to headline but not LP they've dropped a bollock but you also can't just choose to have them if they fancy another gig this year....which is why I reckon BST might have them. I think having them the following year though is risky. If you take playing Reading for example, the only day I'd have attended from someone who was die hard on them would have been Reading Saturday and given they booked LDR and Fred for that day it's unlikely. BST would be my guess with a place holder for a second day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Linkin Park have gone with the money so looking like BST is likely and rumours of either Slipknot doing a Knotfest or skipping the UK because of the amount of tickets they’ve sold on the UK tour.

Timetime Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago R&L Booked Mike Shinoda without LP. This idea that LP have a special connection with DL is just daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Mike went solo it wasn't exactly rock like Linkin Park was. There was a few LP covers but it was much more mellow. They put Skindred, Mike and Sum 41 and had a little bit more of rockier day but those days are kinda gone. The difference is that it was middle off the day with rapper main headliner. The heavier closing bands with Pendulum and Papa Roach were on smaller stage. That's the difference in booking as booking a big pop option and another through the day is probably where the kids enter the field and then leave and get drunk in camp for the rest.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Slipknot's UK tour has sold well, hasn't it? I was under the impression it had. I assume Linkin Park are doing BST. Kind of assumed it was that or a stadium show - though the former poses far less risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they've decided to do a 25yr arena tour instead of Knotfest here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely sold out and resale tickets on Twickets sell faster than lightening... I know because I'm trying to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
