As predicted Metallica will headline the 10th anniversary of Download at Donington Park over the weekend of Friday 8th to Sunday 10th June 2012.
Metallica have headlined Download twice before in 2006, and 2004. Drummer Lars said on the Zane Lowe show on Radio 1, "We have not been to the hallowed grounds of Donington since 2006, and we are so looking forward to coming back. Donington is a sacred place for us to play... for me coming back there it's very special."
