Download Festival Poster Revealed? More Bands Added
A poster of the festival’s line-up has appeared online, but it is not yet confirmed to be accurate.

Following the announcement of their appearance at this year’s Download Festival, Soundgarden uploaded the above poster to their Facebook page, before it was quickly removed.
Whilst the line-up on the poster has not yet been confirmed, it does feature all five of the bands that Zane Lowe revealed on his Radio 1 show earlier this evening.
There are another nine bands to be announced during Daniel P Carter’s Radio 1 show at midnight tonight, but, if they match the leaked poster, the bands include Trivium, Machine Head, August Burns Red, Anthrax and Devildriver.
However, please note, this poster is not as-of-yet confirmed.
Already confirmed earlier in the evening were Biffy Clyro, Soundgarden, Chase & Status, You Me At Six and Tenacious D, joining the event’s headliners The Prodigy, Metallica and Black Sabbath.
Download Festival it is set to take place at Donington Park on the 8th to the 10th June.
