Continuing the recent trend of summer festivals announcing their headliners for 2016 we have one of England’s biggest and best festivals in Leicestershire, I am of course talking about Download Festival!

Download is arguably the UK’s biggest rock and metal festival, often boasting huge worldwide names from rock and metal offering up a festival like no other. This year offers more of the winning formula; confirmed last night as headliners for the three day festival are: Rammstein, Korn, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Deftones, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Nightwish and Disturbed! A wide range of genres from metal and rock alike.

Download took to twitter to announce not just their headlining acts but all supporting acts also, see below:
