17 new acts for Download

Another seventeen acts have been announced for Download festival, which takes place at Donington Park, Leicestershire from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th June.

There has been a slight move around in bands to the schedule. My Vitriol is now playing Dimebag Darrell Stage on the Saturday, with Head Automatica having swapped to the Tuborg Stage. This will be My Vitriol’s first performance at a festival in five years and their Download debut, and the stage move will help facilitate the demand due to the extra capacity of the Dimebag Darrell Stage.

Download features headliners My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, & Iron Maiden (who play Friday, Saturday, & Sunday respectively) plus Wolfmother, Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Killswitch Engage, Bring Me The Horizon, Korn, Velvet Revolver, Dragonforce, Devildriver, Lamb Of God, Dimmu Borgir, Evanescence, Motley Crue, Gallows, 30 Seconds To Mars, Enter Shikari, Machine Head, Bowling For Soup and more - click here for the full details to-date, including day and stage splits.
