All of you making predictions seem to be forgetting Dream Theater and In Flames have been announced for Copenhell.

Dream Theatre are doing the O2 and I believe it’s their only UK show.

That's this year as part of their 40th Anniversary tour and then they have a new album out next year. Copenhell announcement shows they doing fests and if that's marketed as a different tour passes the 'only UK show' test for this tour (if that makes sense).

The Bloodhound Gang would be banter personified, but I won't deny a fascination if they're tight.

 

Re: Knotfest, Milton Keynes Bowl is just a bit sh*t, innit. Aware of history and all that cobblers, but still.

Sweden Rock just announced Korn, Slipknot, Sabaton, Scorpions, Dream Theater, King Diamond, Meshuggah, Kreator and more.

Probably one of the most realistic posters I've seen. Lots of the bands touring/about/got dates/albums etc. I feel like it'll be fairly similar to this. Could potentially see Meshuggah doing it with them being announced for Sweden Rock.

Adds credit to the Korn information because before this we just had a leak/Korn stating they're headlining festivals this summer. Can see Meshuggah and potentially Sabaton slotting in somewhere unless there's a Knotfest happening. Would it be weird for Slipknot to skip the UK when they're in Europe in the summer? Find it odd if someone pulled out that they didn't go to Slipknot before Korn.

If it wasn't for Judas Yeast's previous reliability I would suspect it was Slipknot - Green Day - Korn as headliners with Sleep Token - Sabaton - Dream Theater as subs or second stage headliners. 

 

But yes, if no Slipknot at Download then surely a Knotfest UK with some of those bands doing that.

They wouldn't bump Korn up over Sleep Token

Well we shall see but no reason not to believe it's both.

Haven't Sleep Token sold about 3 times as many tickets as Korn did on their respective most recent tours? 

[BenG92]

Lord we need that leaked poster with ST up top to put this to bed

[NorthernSoul52]

Wait, are we getting Korn instead of Sleep Token now?

If people would reread my post I did say if it wasn't for Judas Yeast's previous realibility.....aka I believe

what he stated because he has been correct in the past. But without his info the best guess would be other fests headliners like Sweden Rock.

They're not subs regardless of info though, that was my point, been that way since February when the initial predictions were made. Anyways, not long and that whole debate will be over, and Facebook will have a big moment as always

[Gejonimo]

I'm very happy with a trio of Korn, GD and ST, but the possible undercard is the problem for me. The predictions in here have been average at best for my taste and is missing any sort of big "get" or draw.

And my point is that if we hadn't heard otherwise we'd be expecting Slipknot based on other fest announcements.

[NorthernSoul52]

Thought I'd missed something.

Basically they've chosen not to book Slipknot again so soon and Korn have got the bump. They've definitely chosen not to grab Slipknot for Download that much as we know is true, and they've bumped Korn due to Muse saying no.

Just gimme Weezer. An hour of Weezer’s greatest hits, in the hopeful sunshine with a cold drink in hand, will be the highlight of the weekend for me.

Having seen it when they supported Green Day in Huddersfield, their cover of Enter Sandman is actually decent, which I never thought I’d say!

Weezer got the vibes, never quite got people who turn their noses up at them.
