UK rockers THE WILDHEARTS were recently confirmed for the UK's Download Festival scheduled for Friday, June 13th - Sunday, June 15th at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England. Frontman Ginger comments: "It's great to finally play Download with The Wildhearts. I have fantasised for years about having our crowd show the other crowds who's loudest, and now we get to prove it. Our fans are gonna be the loudest, per unit, of the weekend, no contest. Our tent is going to achieve new levels of richter scale mayhem. Just wait until the fans of those other bands hear OUR LOT!!! They're gonna fucking shit themselves. They honestly will not know what the fuck is going on. Come on guys and gals, let's make aural history."
