Following rumours that Metallica may be playing at Download Festival (see our news report), the organisers have issued the following press release:
"Having seen the rumours circulating online and heard the rumour on the radio today, Clear Channel, in it's capacity as Download Festival promoters, has issued the following statement:
"We are huge Metallica fans at Download and would be honoured to have them performing at our festival. However, they are not playing at Download. We gather a rumour was started when we added Apocalyptica to the bill earlier this week."
So it looks like our cynicism was well placed
