Bullet For My Valentine and Seether are the latest two acts to be added to the bill of the Kerrang!-sponsored Download Festival at Donington Park from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 June.
"Download is the best ever!" says Bullet For My Valentine guitarist Michael 'Padge' Padget. "Donington is metal's hallowed turf. I wish we could play every year, and headline all three days. That would rule!"
"This will actually be our fourth appearance in the last five years," vocalist Matt Tuck tells K!, "which is kind of scary! It's definitely one of our favourite festivals to be a part of. We have such amazing memories of Download - it was the first festival that we were ever a part of, when we were an unsigned band in 2005. Download was the beginning of the phenomenon. That was the first show that made us feel like we could make something of ourselves!"
Stay tuned to Kerrang! dot com and Kerrang! magazine this Wednesday (March 26) for another special Download announcement.
The Kerrang!-sponsored Download festival will be headlined by: Kiss, The Offspring and Lostprophets.
