Feeder, Sabbath & SOAD for 3-day Download

Download Festival has, as widely expected, expanded itself to a three day event for 2005.

The bad news on this expansion is that it now costs more than Glastonbury! So what are they offering for the money?

Friday has Feeder as headliners, along with Garbage, and one of the original 70's punks, Billy Idol. We're not quite sure what relevance the truly awful 'Hot In The City' has to an event like Download, but someone somewhere obviously thinks it's a good idea.

Saturday is Ozzfest Day, and it of course wouldn't be complete without Ozzy. This year he's bringing his old mates Tony, Geezer & Bill along: Black Sabbath! Joining them are Velvet Revolver, and HIM.


There's no let-up on the Sunday, which has System of a Down, Slipknot, and Slayer.

There'll be many more acts confirmed over the coming weeks.

Three-day tickets are on sale now, priced at £105, with camping costing an extra £22.50 (and with parking thrown in). Those not camping will (if required) need to buy an extra ticket to park their car, costing £5. Click here to buy tickets.

Download Festival takes place from 10th, 11th & 12th June, at Donington Park, Leicestershire.
