 Municipal Waste, Testament, Brigade, Chiodos, Comeback Kid, Valient Thorr, Animal Alpha, August Burns Red, Exit Ten, Hostile, Trigger The Bloodshed and Rose Tattoo have confirmed their appearance at the three-day, K!-sponsored festival.
"We'll bring the crossover speed attack to the masses at Download!" says Municipal Waste guitarist Ryan. "We assure you that there will be ripped faces of unsuspecting headbangers left in our dust as we exit the stage. As a true fan of heavy metal myself, I will sacrifice my own face by melting it down onstage during the almighty Judas Priest!"
"Download has become the ultimate rock and metal festival," adds Brigade frontman Will Simpson. "Every band wants to play, so it's an awesome opportunity to make some new fans and destroy people's preconceptions. Plus I can't wait to check out some of my favourite bands like Biffy Clyro, Jimmy Eat World and of course, Fightstar!"
"We haven't been overseas that much but we're looking forward to play for thousands of people that have no clue who we even are!" says Chiodos keyboardist Brad Bell. "It shall rock!"
The Kerrang!-sponsored Download festival will be headlined by: Kiss, The Offspring and Lostprophets.
