Some of Australia's creme de le creme are heading over to the UK for Download Festival's 20th Anniversary celebrations which extend over four days from June 8-11 in Donnington Park, and if you've wanted to venture across for the OG location, maybe this will entice you.
Headliners feature Metallica (Thursday and Saturday) playing two completely different sets with no songs repeated, genre-bending heavyweights Bring Me The Horizon (Friday) and the almighty Slipknot (Sunday).
Australia's Parkway Drive, Polaris, Pendulum, Stand Atlantic and AViVA join the likes of Architects, Disturbed, Alexisonfire, Ghost, I Prevail, Lorna Shore, Evanescence, Simple Plan, Ville Valo, Motionless in White, and, well, a massively stacked first announcement of 60+ acts as seen below.
