Download adds Lethal Bizzle, High On Fire, and more

with Sign, In Case Of Fire, Johnny Truant, and more

Thursday 8th May 2008


Download Festival, which happens over the weekend of Friday 13th to Sunday 15th June 2008 at Donington Park, Leicestershire has announced more acts for the festival now held on a new site beside the race track.

The latest acts confirmed for Donington are Sign, Lethal Bizzle, High On Fire, In Case Of Fire, Johnny Truant, and Annotations Of An Autopsy.

They join the headliners Kiss, The Offspring and Lostprophets, and also confirmed are Judas Priest, as 'very special guests', Lemmy's Mötorhead, Rise Against, Jimmy Eat World, Ash, Ace Frehley, Bullet For My Valentine, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, 36 Crazyfists, Pendulum, Job For A Cowboy, Children Of Bodom, Coheed and Cambria, Alter Bridge, Disturbed, In Flames, Incubus, Kid Rock, Bleeding Through, Throwdown, The Black Dahlia Murder, and The Subways. For the line-up details, days and stage splits as available please click here. There are still more names to come yet.

This year the Second Stage will now be a completely open air stage rather than housed inside a tent. The new layout will incorporate more hard standing areas reducing mud and dust significantly. There will be no one-way system, giving quicker and more direct access to the three stages and all car parking will now be within the Donington Park site removing the footbridge to the site. The new position of the Main Stage is now within a natural amphitheatre.

There will also be more seating on site, better facilities for the carers of disabled festival-goers in the disabled campsites, plus ways of dealing with overcrowding on the disabled platform, and the cup recycling scheme will be extended to include plastic bottles.

Tickets for Download are on sale now priced at: a full weekend ticket £130, standard camping £20, camper van £40, family zone camping £20, lockers £11, parking £10 in advance or £15 on the day. To buy your tickets, click here.

Disabled customers can call 0121 767 9729 to discuss accessibility arrangements. Please note, disabled customers will be provided with one free ticket for their helper, where required. Should additional helper tickets be required, please call the disabled access ticket line on 0121 767 9729 or email access@downloadfestival.co.uk.
