EUROPE, HALESTORM, FIREWIND, TURBONEGRO AND MORE ADDED TO THIS YEAR’S LINE UP

Download Festival 2012


DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL has revealed another ‘dirty dozen’ acts for this year’s festival, which takes place 8-10 June at Donington Park! This year’s Download celebrates 10 years of rockin’, and is headlined by The Prodigy, Metallica and Black Sabbath.

Making their Download debut despite a career spanning three decades, Sweden’s most successful rock group EUROPE are confirmed, to bring hits such as ‘The Final Countdown’ and ‘Rock The Night’ to the Donington masses.

Ahead of their second album release, Pennsylvanian quartet HALESTORM, led by the enigmatic Lzzy Hale, will make their second appearance at Download, along with Greek heavy metallers FIREWIND (who last played in 2008).

Norwegian “deathpunk” act TURBONEGRO will be back, alongside platinum selling Roadrunner signings THEORY OF A DEADMAN and their upcoming tour mates STELLAR REVIVAL, long standing Brit punk band ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE, the mixed bag of sound that is Bristol’s TURBOWOLF, acclaimed Cambridge rockers MALLORY KNOX, the Radio 1 championed prog metallers THE SAFETY FIRE, American deathcore act EMMURE and infectious hard rockers BROKEN.

FYI there was a slipup with this email press release in which the first contained europe, the second didnt! so it seems they announced them early? or are they playing at all?Download Festival 2012
