Bullet For My Valentine for Download

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.

The full list of other bands on the bill so far is as follows: 36 Crazy Fists, A Day To Remember, Alesana, Alter Bridge, Apocalyptica, Bleeding Through, Cavalera Conspiracy, Children Of Bodom, Chris Cornell, Coheed & Cambria, Disturbed, HIM, Incubus, In Flames, Job For A Cowboy, Jonathan Davis, Jimmy Eat World, Judas Priest, Kid Rock, Motorhead, Rise Against, Simple Plan, The Black Dahlia Murder, Throwdown, The Devil Wears Prada, The Dillinger Escape, The Subways and Within Temptation.

I'm becoming more tempted. But I'm still holding out for Leeds fest, I heard from the horses mouth that one of my favourite bands are going to be there but they've not officially announced it yet.

Does kinda suck to be missing Throwdown though.

Why!?!?!

Why does download have to be in the middle of GCSEs??
I can't go to it now.
Also, why do Alesana, TDWP, CIWWAF, Boys Like Girls and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have to tour in the middle of exams aswell :@
I hate school!!!!!!!

Why!?!?! (NERD)

Actually I have a Greek Paper on the Monday and my parents refuse to let me go due to that, seeing as I would have to walk 14 miles to the nearest train station with a tent, sleeping bag and then catch a train it seems less appealing. So I completely sympathise. Oh and getting tickets could be a bit difficult as I don't own a credit card and therefore would need to steal my parents to get tickets. Yeah some people's parents are annoying so you don't have to be a nerd to be restricted by GCSE's.

Seether

Out of all the bands listed, Seether is possibly the only one I would pay that price for! Love them! WT too actually. However, I'm in Africa at the time of the festival, so no dl for me!

I would love to go but no way can I afford the ticket! It sucks. How is an average 17 year old going to afford a ticket? it sucks...

guess its the good old net and TV recaps for me again this year.
