Download Festival, taking place between June 12 and 14 at Donington Park, has already begun announcing bands for their lineup. Right now we only know twelve of the bands performing at the three day festival, and the website makes it well-known that there will be plenty more announcements, but here's what we've got!
- On Friday, June 12, we've got Slipknot, Judas Priest, Five Finger Death Punch and Black Stone Cherry.
- On Saturday, June 13, we've got Muse, Faith No More, A Day To Remember and Marilyn Manson.
- On Sunday, June 14, we've got Kiss, Motley Crue, Slash feat. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators and Enter Shikari.
So far… pretty mundane and unsurprising. The only remotely surprising announcement here is Enter Shikari, who for some reason keep becoming more and more popular despite myself having thought they peaked around 2009. Apparently I'm wrong!
