Slipknot on the Sunday? Seems to be a date free.

Pretty much rules them out. The chances of them doing Austria, Switzerland and the UK in 3 days before going back down to Italy is incredibly unlikely. The only time they have 3 days in a row are when 2 of them are in the same country with RaR/RiP who have two events running side by side. Not impossible but very unlikely.

 

People slowly coming round to the whole Green Day/Sleep Token/Korn thing!

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, I'd say that nails Slipknot out to pasture.

[Spiral_Low]

Would say that Deftones date rules them out. Incubus ruled out by their UK exclusive date. Judas Priest likely as in Norway on the Saturday, free both other days.

Wouldn’t mind seeing the Priest, possible Opus stage headliner?

Still got a feeling Sleep Token will sub Linkin Park this time around.

That would be great!

If Sleep Token play and don't headline, it'll be a massive missed opportunity.

I'd find it odd for Deftones to go on sale 4 days before Download announce them as well. From previous times it would be a tour more likely for Download to get later on or after than event. I think the point Weezer are special guest and not co-headliner though suggests they wouldn't have the sub whoever they did play. 

 

I think Judas Priest at Download isn't happening.

I think they are doing BST as an Exclusive.

I'm expecting Yellowcard to have a prominent Avalanche slot. Maybe even headliner.

[Alvoram]

Hot Milk have played Download 2 of the last 4 festivals. They are in a play one miss one cycle, Played 2021, missed 2022, played 2023, missed 2024... So I expect (hope) they'll be there next year. 

(Going to see them again on Saturday as it happens.)

Strong information suggests FIR and Spirit Box are second stage headliners. I'd guess Slayer join them. I'd be shocked if JEW aren't there given whe. Their tour dates are and the announcement comes.
