Headliners announced for Download Festival
The usual array of hardcore dudes have been confirmed to headline this year’s Download Festival.
Those topping the event have been outed as Kiss, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Lostprophets, the Offspring, HIM and Rise Against.
Not for Download the calm, staggered unveiling of other festivals; quivering organisers jump the gun with the full bill at 7.30 tonight (5 Feb).
The event runs from the 13th ‘til the 15th of June at Donington Park in the midlands. Tickets are on sale now.
