From First To Last and Saxon join Download bill!
 From First To Last, The Fall Of Troy, Beat Union, Stone Gods, Saxon and Between The Buried And Me are among artists that have been added to the ever-increasing Download 2008 festival bill this week.
"We are beyond excited to get to play at Download this year and share the stage with some of our favourite bands," says From First To Last frontman Matt Good. "We can't wait to see all our new and old friends!"
"I'm chomping at the bit to finally play Download," adds The Fall Of Troy's drummer Andrew Forsman. "I've heard so many great things about the festival. I'm also looking forward to drinking a few beers!"
Also playing will be Finger Eleven, Big Linda, The Haze, Galvatrons, Last Supper, Blackhole, Rolo Tomassi, Malefice, Fighting With Wire, Mexicolas, Caimbo, Glamour Of The Kill, Cry for Silence, Sons Of Albion and Army Of Freshmen.
In related news, the festival organisers have announced that this year's site will be at a slightly different location from previous Download events. Kerrang! can reveal that this year the Second Stage (sponsored by Tuborg) will be open air, increasing the capacity in order for more fans to enjoy bands like Simple Plan, HIM and Cavalera Conspiracy. There will also now be direct and quicker access to all three stages, all car parking will now be within the Donington Park site, and the new position of the Main Stage - within a natural amphitheatre with surrounding trees - should make the experience of seeing Judas Priest, Kiss, Lostprophets and more... even more epic!
