Download Festival which takes place at Donington Park from 12th - 14th June has announced a further 27 acts for this years event including: seminal post hardcore megaliths Funeral For A Friend, Alaskan metalcore steamroller 36 Crazyfists.  Also appearing heavy metal titans Corrosion of Conformity, plus Liverpudlian metallers Carcass.

For Carcass the appearance is the fulfilment of a long-held dream: 'Well, after years of badgering Andy Copping he has finally broken and agreed to let us despoil Download! We’re genuinely excited to finally get to play Castle Donington after all these years - maybe this time without rolling Landrovers and cracking shoulder bones on the journey there (a LONG story!). We hope to see some of you at a loose end, with no one better to watch at CARCASS’ ONLY UK festival appearance this Summer!'

Other acts added to the line up include:  pop-punk giants Yellowcard, Suicidal Tendencies, Lacuna Coil, Krokodil, Antemasque, Three Days Grace, Malefice, The Wild Lies, Upon A Burning Body, September Mourning, Von Hertzen Brothers, The Qemists, Colour of Noise, LTNT, Blues Pills, Fidlar, Get Hot, Chunk, No, Captain Chunk!, E of E, The Struts, Like A Storm, The Cadillac Three and The Lounge Kittens

The join headliners Slipknot, Muse and Kiss, main support Judas Priest, Faith No More and Mötley Crüe, and such other musical giants as Marilyn Manson, Slash, Enter Shikari, Black Stone Cherry and A Day To Remember.
