Bring Me Horizon's Oli Sykes said: We’re over the moon about playing Download. Before we got confirmed I had already asked for guest list as there was no way I was going to miss Linkin Park play Hybrid Theory in full. When we were offered to play on the same day and on the same stage just a few hours before, it was a no brainer. I’m crowd surfing to papercut, mark my words!

In addition Trivium now in second stage headline slot in response to Download fan requests

Download Festival takes place from 13 - 15 June at Donington Park, Derbyshire
