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! 

[DomDom1984]

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.

Feel like it’s going to be fairly close to this. Think Jimmy Eat World will be on the Green Day day. Can see Yellowcard headlining Avalanche as someone in the thread has mentioned as they’re about. Harsh putting Palaye Royale up against Green Day, feel like they’ll do a different day if they’re there.  I also feel like Motionless In White are nailed on.

Info from elsewhere has said they are two of three second stage headliners and when i think about that second stage now starts later than main sub during to their way of planning and structure it makes sense. Download sub time wise isn't that different to if they were playing 3rd down whereas second stage is actually closer to sub now.

Jimmy Eat World would definitely need to be on the Green Day day. I think they might do Glastonbury as well similar slot to Bloc Party/one below. Turnstile are way more likely to be on the ST or Korn days. Three Days Grace, Bullet and Flogging Molly would be a decent top 3 but I see Bullet as subs.

The other place of information 

[northernangel]

I'm also expecting Download to have AFI in this announcement and Green Day day for me at least bands wise would make sense. Then, Jimmy and Rise Against I'd probably pay full price for the ticket.
