System of a Down confirmed for Download Fest Australia?

The internet went into overdrive this morning after the revelation of Download Festival Australia‘s website going live and a few eager fans (myself included) getting access to a sign up mailing list page which confirmed the event was coming to Australia, and more specifically Melborne (ha!) in 2018, but the detective skills didn’t end there.

Despite the spelling mistake of Melbourne, we found this on a side page of the now live @downloadfestau website thanks to @ninhend0… Could this be it? Head to wallofsoundau.com for more info #WallOfSoundAU #DownloadFestivalAu #DownloadFestival

Twitter user @castleet seems to have witnessed a potential headliner on Facebook when the page was published for a limited time (maybe to test everything works) and by the looks of it, we’ve got the rumoured System of a Down headlining the down under leg.

System of a Down played the first day of Download’s UK festival so given that information, we could potentially receive an outing featuring bands from this year’s 3 day event. No word yet on if we’ll have multiple days or if it’ll just be a one off event for the first year but the news is getting all of us ready with anticipation.
