"Ten years ago, when this band was formed, when we were dreaming of playing the local youth centre, I remember how amazing it was to watch all those legendary bands on video play Donington. Now we're releasing our second album and it is just such a huge honour to be invited to take the stage and perform these new songs for the first time ever at such an amazing festival as Download for such a crazy crowd as we have learned to expect in the UK. Rain or shine, I want to see a sea of thousands of fists and hear your battle cry out loud and proud. Banners will fly high and pints raised towards the sky. My warriors - we meet at Donington!"The festival billing is now as follows (in alphabetical order): 30 SECONDS TO MARS, ANJ, BLOODSIMPLE, BOWLING FOR SOUP, BRING ME THE HORIZON, BUCKCHERRY, CHIMAIRA, DEVILDRIVER, DIMMU BORGIR, DRAGONFORCE, DRIVE BY ARGUMENT, DREAM THEATER, ENTER SHIKARI, EVANESCENCE, GALLOWS, HELLYEAH!, I WAS A CUB SCOUT, IRON MAIDEN (June 10th headliner), JOB FOR A COWBOY, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, KORN, LAMB OF GOD, LINKIN PARK (June 9th headliner), MACHINE HEAD, MARILYN MANSON, MEGADETH, MÖTLEY CRÜE, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE (June 8th headliner), SHADOWS FALL, SLAYER, STONE SOUR, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, TURBONEGRO, TURISAS, UNEARTH, VELVET REVOLVER, WITHIN TEMPTATION and WOLFMOTHER.
