audioslave join the current big name line up, as previously reported the bill currently has Iron Maiden headlining (their only UK live performance this summer) with Limp Bizket in their first UK live show for more than two years.

Festival ticket buyers will be able to obtain artist approved Downloads on the website via a unique password. There will also be additions to the site after the festival – with live footage from Download, special messages from the bands, screensavers, and more. (blah blah buzzword blah)
