It was announced today that the SuicideGirls and Wildboyz will be bringing their unique stage shows, for the fist time ever in the UK, to Download 2004 at Donington Park on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th June.

SuicideGirls is a contemporary lifestyle brand. Combining the DIY attitude of underground culture with a vibrant, sex positive community of women (and men), the brand was founded on the belief that creativity, personality and intelligence are not incompatible with sexy, compelling entertainment, and millions of people agree. The website, www.suicidegirls.com, mixes the smarts, enthusiasm and DIY attitude of the best music and alternative culture sites with an unapologetic, grassroots approach to sexuality. Founded by Missy Suicide, SuicideGirls will be bringing their unique Burlesque show to Donington Park.

No self-respecting rock extravaganza would be complete without those lovable loonies, the Jackass boys. With Johnny Knoxville off being Gram Parsons and Bam Margera firmly committed to his CKY project, it is the duty of world renowned nut-cases Steve O and Chris Pontius, aka Party Boy, to keep the mad-ball flag flying with their latest venture Wildboyz. Like the show that made them household names, Wildboyz is a lot like Jackass, only with animals. The boys taunt great white sharks, play 'ham football' with wild hyenas, and try and spit antelope poo as far as they can, among many other crazy antics.

Also, newly added to the bands line-up are Pennywise, who have been confirmed as playing the Game On Stage on Saturday.

Download features bands such as Metallica, Linkin Park, Sum 41, Iggy & the Stooges, KoRn, Slipknot, Slayer, Electric Six, Bowling for Soup, and loads more across three stages. To see exactly who is playing, click here.

Day tickets are on sale at £45 for each day; both days costs £80, or £95 with camping. 'Loaded Camping costs £5 extra, and includes hot showers, cloakroom, attended toilets and access to Club Kerrang! in the Download Café (limited capacity).

There's also Download (Scotland) - click here for the all details.
