QOTSA would be amazing, but they were previously announced for this year's Colours of Ostrava. 

They were re-announced for some 2025 festivals like Pohoda, Oyafestivalen etc.

So I assume that Colours could have them for 2025 as well.

Maybe with their friends Eagles Of Death Metal being announced today, Rock For People also booked them for 2025

QOTSA are not around during RfP period, sadly...

Sorry, I only checked it now, they're in the US during June

Assuming it’s likely that the Friday headliner is going to be Korn? Playing Nova Rock on Wednesday then Download on Sunday 

I thought they seemed nailed on but as @turnero says they seem to like to vary it a bit. I wouldn’t necessarily rule out Kings Of Leon given that they’re now touring either side of the festival. This seems about their level now

I would say that would be too heavy with all of the 3 headliners being "heavy". Typically there is some rock/indie name.

Would see more likely someone like QoTSA or Vampire Weekend (they have been in preselection of the bands)

Havent checked if they are around though.

 

The list was more about genre direction (what the current RfP attendee prefers). I doubt they'll invite Charli xcx for next year, who was on that list too. Although it would be very interesting 🙂

 

Anyway, I'm also expecting something less heavy (even though Korn will probably be on Friday) but among other names - Rise Against, Jimmy Eat World, Wet Leg, Flogging Moly, From Ashes To New, Alien Ant Farm, Biffy Clyro, Yellowcard ...

I think these lists usually consists names which would be doable for festival with few extras "traps", but Im mixing these from other festivals, so I dont really remember who was there, except Vampire Weekend, which would be cool.

But since they were announced to UK festival late Aug, it seems unlikely 😕

Biffy would be nice as headliner too.

Sigrid a bit of a curveball

So why are we thinking for the last headliner guys? I've seen some say Korn and that choice seems to be very popular on their Instagram page, while some have said they may be too rocky considerin the rest of the line-up is quite heavy... 

 

Saw others guess Kings of Leon (please no, they're so boring these days)... What is everyone thinking? Any other guesses?

 

Chase & Status maybe, with other editions seeing a dance act headlining?

Having seen the addition of Sigrid today logic is telling me they'll be looking at someone or something a bit 'softer' than the rest for the final headliner. My delusional brain has just seen Pulp announced for BBK and if they're doing abroad told myself that they'll be doing the Friday here. 

 

I still think Korn are the favourites for that slot though.
