Down, Lacuna Coil and Papa Roach have been added to the bill of this year's K!-sponsored Download festival.
Lacuna Coil are set to release their new album Shallow Life on April 20 and vocalist Cristina Scabbia tells K! that the band are itching to showcase their new material at this year's festival.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be coming back to Download this year," says Scabbia. "I've played there twice, once with Lacuna Coil and last year with my friends from Apocalyptica. There's always such an amazing atmosphere there and we have a total blast when we're in the UK. We are really excited to be able to play some of our new songs live for the first time for you guys at Download. The line-up this year is awesome already and I'm looking forward to catching up with some friends! I'll see you down the front!"
Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix reveals that the Californian quartet have never had anything less than a "fucking awesome time" at Donington.
"We're psyched to be coming back once again," Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix tells Kerrang!. "I think this is going to be our third time playing there and so far we've never had anything less than a fucking awesome time. The bands are always great, the vibe is really cool, and best of all the entire crowd always stinks after the first day!"
