The UK’s premier rock festival, THE DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL AT DONINGTON PARK, spanning 5 days giving you more ‘bang for your buck’ has revealed the first set of bands confirmed to play at this year’s event. Headlining one of the days will be Iowa metal titans SLIPKNOT, who will bring their legendary masked 9-strong circus to Download for the third time. Off the back of their critically acclaimed new album Invaders Must Die, dance-crossover kings THE PRODIGY will be making their second Download appearance, injecting a dose of fierce electronica and rock-rave beats – a live performance not to be missed. The Download Festival takes place 12-14 JUNE 2009.
Other acts confirmed to play over the weekend are L.A. wildcats MÖTLEY CRÜE, who last time they came to Download played to a ram-packed tent to screaming fans, throwing out hits such as ‘Girls Girls Girls’ and ‘Dr. Feelgood’. Nu-metal stalwarts KORN will be returning to Donington for the fifth time, young power metallers DRAGONFORCE will be inhumanly rampaging at this year’s Download too, as will circle-pit extraordinaires DEVILDRIVER. Finally, 2008’s heroes of drum ‘n’ bass / metal mash ups PENDULUM will join the fray after a welcoming reception last year from the Download crowd.
Tickets for the Download Festival 2009 go on sale at 9am on Friday 13 February from the multi award winning Download Festival website www.downloadfestival.co.uk. Over the five day period, including three incredible days of music across three stages, Download festival-goers will be guaranteed ‘more metal for their moolah’.
A range of “RIP” packages will once again be available for those seeking a truly unique festival experience.
Download Festival RIP Packages are available at the same point of sale as standard weekend tickets; please visit www.livenation.co.uk for more information.
