More bands added to the Download 2012 line up
We never rest here at Download HQ – not content with having headliners The Prodigy, Metallica and Black Sabbath on the Download 2012 poster, we’ve gone and added a further 14 bands to our 10th anniversary line-up.
The mighty ‘Riff Lord’ himself Slash will return with his solo project featuring Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy.
As well as that, legendary LA thrash metal band Megadeth, whose last appearance at Donington pulled in huge crowds, also join the decade celebrations.
Other new additions include melodic hardcore punk group Rise Against, wild LA glam rockers Steel Panther, ferocious punk four-piece Billy Talent and US heavy metallers Black Label Society.
Kyuss Lives!, the incarnation of the influential stoner rock band Kyuss, will unleash their desert rock fury on Donington, joined by Five Finger Death Punch, industrial metal four-piece Fear Factory and prog-metallers Periphery.
Yorkshire rockers Terrorvision are also confirmed, joined by British rocker Ginger Wildheart, Grammy-nominated metalcore group As I Lay Dying and Finnish glam metal group Reckless Love for the biggest weekend in the rock calendar.
Now is the time to get VERY freakin’ excited. Roll on June!!
