6 Potential Future Headline Acts For Download Festival

There are few bands in the world that carry as much mainstream credibility as Foo Fighters. Rising from the mind of former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, the band has become a household name in the time since their formation in 1994.

Incidentally, Download has saved it's Saturday headline slot for the more mainstream acts in recent years, allowing a greater possibility for a Foo Fighters headline show in the near future.

This could only be a good thing for the festival, as the mainstream media attention, brought by a band with the stature of Foo Fighters, could draw massive crowds and boost day ticket sales considerably.

In addition, Foo Fighters are a proven headline act, with previous headlining slots at Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, and their own stadium tours, both in the United Kingdom, and globally.

A headline slot for Foo Fighters at Download could be exactly what the festival needs, and could take it to even greater heights, bringing the benefits of financial gain and musical variety in a very reputable package.
