Richie Sambora has been added to the line-up for Download Festival 2014. His performance will feature special guest, Australian singer-songwriter and guitar goddess Orianthi. 

Sambora is one of the few hard rock musicians to truly transcend genres; his collaborators include Cher, LL Cool J and Eric Clapton, and his three solo albums bestride hard rock, blues and experimental rock with the most recent – 2012’s Aftermath of the Lowdown – receiving critical acclaim. This year will be Richie Sambora’s first visit to Europe’s biggest rock and metal festival, offering hard rock aficionados a rare opportunity to watch one of the icons of the genre in action. 

Other outstanding acts joining the Download 2014 line-up today include psychedelic rockers Turbowolf, Cytota, Drenge, Baby Godzilla, The Temperance Movement, Nothing More, Dead City Streets and Goldray. 

Download Festival 2014 takes place at Donington Park, Castle Donington, Derby, Derbyshire from June 13-15 and will be Theadlined by Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park – in a rare performance of their legendary debut album Hybrid Theory – and Aerosmith.
