People on here really over estimate Creed. The best they’d get is subbing the second stage/fourth on main. 

But we don't underestimate if they could take us higher.

 

fiddly guitar bit

Are My Chemical Romance out of the question? Cant see them booking Greenday and MCR on the same year.

Agreed.

Have heard they're "open to offers for 2025 festivals" very recently which for me puts them out of the frame, you'd think it'd be locked in by now. Unless they're open to more offers. Don't think Download can afford two stadium headliners in a year.

Green Day will have cost a bomb so they won’t have a band the size of MCR as well.

The scenes when R+L have MCR, Linkin Park and Foo Fighters headlining and Download has Korn, Biffy and Def Leppard.

I reckon so... Even more so if this lines up with your 'Big Get'...?! 👀

Think the dude who said there was a 'big get' said the one he was referring to wasn't Green Day.

Biggest premium  "rock" festival not being able to deliver to big rocks bands?

[BrutalLegend]

@Judas Yeast Was the big get reference to Green Day or someone else you heard?

 

Anyway Slayer returned at Riot Fest and sounded pretty good and had a good stage, likely they’ll be at Download?

Nickelback doing an album in full during their debut appearance wouldn’t be a good idea and I don’t think it would happen anyway. It’s not like Green Day doing Dookie or American Idiot which are two ubiquitously huge albums. Nickelback coming out all guns blazing and just doing a solid greatest hits set would go down a storm.

Take off the album tag for Nickelback, and I think this looks reasonably realistic

Have a sense MCR might do BST Hyde Park if anywhere. Obviously did the massive MK shows, but actually skipped the capital proper on the reunion run.

 

They'd shift it, surely.

Seen a lot of predictions with Falling in Reverse. Do people think Download would still book them with the controversy and allegations of domestic abuse/assault against Radke? Kinda similar thinking with Till Lindemann and Marilyn Manson. Surely would harm sales more than it would benefit but honestly not sure.

Kinda did with the words of they aren't going to be able to get another the size of MCR with Green Day as well.

Had a go. Feel like instead of a classic rock day, they could be moving to a kind of nu metal day.

I don’t think they’d bat an eyelid about Ronnie.

Some placement issues here but this lineup would absolutely bang. I’d love it.

Pantera headlined 2nd this year and it did well, they don't give a hoot

Till Lindermann has been completely cleared of all accusations so it's not the same situation with him at all.

At the time it was. Rammstein were supposedly booked, then the allegations came out so they were dropped. All this is hearsay so heck knows.

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. 

 

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

There were a lot of falsehoods spread about this year so who knows. But certainly now it's a very different situation.
