I wouldn't say it rules them out completely, purely because Green day did RaR/ rip, then did 2 of their own headline shows the same week. Less likely for sure, but I think that if it's doing both or not playing, the organisers have previous of being practical.

No they are out. Stadiums in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf are too close to Rock am Ring.

Thanks, I hadn't considered proximity. Muse must be in the running for either this or hurricane/southside after dropping a tour today.

I had a strong feeling LP weren't doing RAR, as a fan of their older music as least I would even touch the Sunday.

They did Hurricane & Southside in 2023. Would 2025 be too soon for Muse to return there?

Enough to add to the mystery on who we're waiting on to be the other headliner then.

They said in an early interview that they gonna play festivals next summer and especially mentioned Germany. I wouldn't count them out just yet.

Wanna bet? No headliner of Rock am Ring EVER played stadiums in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hannover and Berlin during the same summer.

 

LP is 100% not playing.

Is it unlikely, yes, but not impossible, we don't know when they are playing the stadiums. Maybe they play RaR and then the stadiums in September.

Gutted to see LP out of the running.  Would have been a huge get for the 30th Anniversary.

 

Muse would be a nice consolation prize. Looking at Download's announcement yesterday could Korn potentially be in the running?

It is impossible.

"This is interesting because the NovaRock promoter was at the London show and the rumor has been that NovaRock paid exclusively to get LP and for LP to not play at Rock am Ring/Rock im Park."

[Nicklord]

So I guess Muse is the missing one 😄

Damn. If it's true. I can't imagine the price of this deal.

I'd wager a lot of money....metaphorically on LP not being at RAR.

That's crazy if so, Nova Rock usually looks decent and can you imagine grabbing LP, Slipknot and FF presumably what it was in the same year. Korn there too as to be honest are headlining everything they are playing.

 

It's mad as well, I remember being really excited when they were announcing their tours and now there's just no interest. I know I'd walk away thinking it just wasn't the same.

 

If Muse were the final headliner for the festival it's the easiest no to a RAR edition I'll have had. So much easier than this year or even 23.

Who’s the favorite to be that final headliner? Muse probably? Outside shot of MCR or Blink?

I'd have to say Muse currently but that's a guess. I'd very doubt MCR with them having just announced their USA tour. They've got no reason to have not announced by now. BMTH, Slipknot and Muse for me these days is garbage. The issue is more though I've seen everyone I want to at the point they were worth seeing and numerous times. I'm running out of when a festival is for me but that Sunday I have to admit would not be a day I'd put Muse on.

I doubt it’s MCR either, but I think it’s likely that Rock Am Ring had thought they had LP until they pulled out to do stadiums, and just had to throw the bag at someone last minute.

As speculated, Linkin Park is a no for Rock Am, having announced German stadium shows in Berlin, Hannover, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf instead.

First date of the USA run is July 11th. So, while I would say it's likelier not happening because they mentioned this is a big choreographed show, I wouldn't necessarily rule MCR out of anything just yet.

[Sparticus]

Linkin Park aren't really my thing (funnily enough the only time I've seen them was at rock am ring....nearly 20 years ago!), but they have dropped the ball missing out on this reunion hype train.

 

Can't think of who they could have, unless they throw money at an exclusive performance like with the foos in 2023.

MCR will probably do europe in 2026. Cant see them doing europe before the us and not announce it

They did exactly that in 2019.
