Legacy of the Beast Tour Second Leg Rumours & Discussions

I wouldn't be surprised if Download repeated its 2013 headliners next year i.e. Iron Maiden, Slipknot and Rammstein. Apparently Slipknot are planning some sort of 20th anniversary tour for their debut album, so Download will lap that up. I'm becoming more and more resigned to Maiden doing a one-and-only 2019 UK show at Download again next year but I really, really don't want to go there again. It's such a hassle. Middle of nowhere. Muddy. :(
 
Slipknot have a new album coming out, apparently. Awkward. I really don't want to go to Download again, but the BF would like to see Slipknot, and I'd quite like to see Rammstein.
 
How about Slayer as a potential headliner? I agree about Slipknot being possibly one of the headliners.

I'd rather not have to go there to see Maiden again, but if it is their only UK gig I might end up having to! :lol:

Not even close to being big enough for Download. They'll almost certainly be at one of Download or Bloodstock for their provisional final UK show. At Download they'd either be subheadliner or second stage headliner, but definitely not the main stage headliner. They might be the Saturday headliner for Bloodstock but as Scorpions will be there I'm not sure the funds will be left to outbid Download for Slayer. :lol: It could depend if Slayer want to go out headlining the middle day to 18,000 people or take a prominent position in front of 90,000. We can discuss Slayer's plans in the Slayer thread if you'd like. :)

The longer both Download and Maiden take to announce things then the more worried I get. If Maiden do indeed go to Download again then I'll be very bitter considering what Bruce said in 2016.
 
Slayer is not so big star to attract 100.000 at the field of mud :) But repetetive version of headlining slot from 2013 sounds realizable to me.

I can't speak for anywhere else, but the last tour Sayer played Dublin, they did a joint headliner with Anthrax in a 2,500 venue, and then before that was a 2 night run in an 800 people venue.

On this tour they are in the same venue Maiden play, 13,500 sold out a long time ago. The fact that it's the last tour has a huge impact.

Exactly. It seems they will be headlining some festivals next summer they wouldn't have dreamt of headlining before announcing their retirement.
 
Slayer plkays Download Festivals in Melbourne, Sydney and Tokyo as the special guest just befor Ozzy, why not as special guest for Maiden in Donington? Scorpions plays as a "very special guest" of IM in Rio (RiR Festival) and very strong rumour says they'll be s.g. on whole South American leg in forthcoming 2019.
 
The special guest slot is a lot more likely, I agree. I also agree with GhostOfCain's sentiment that it would be better to have Slayer headline than Maiden!
 
Probably the same source as the fake tour dates for Europe last year with Judas Priest and Anthrax supporting. :lol: Someone still believed that those bands would tour with Maiden though.::)
