Enthusing about Bowling For Soup’s slot, singer Jared Reddick said: “We are really stoked to be coming back to Download this year…first and foremost, our little band turns 20 this June, so what better way to celebrate?! Music, beer and Portaloos!

“Also, it's a great opportunity to show our amazing UK fans that, although we don't have plans to tour any time soon, they will still get to see our pretty faces once in a while. Can. Not. Wait!”

Reflecting upon his latest Download recruits, promoter Andy Copping said: “This is shaping up to be the most diverse Download yet – a real tableau of the past, present and future of rock and metal.

“You can see that in our headliners; Aerosmith, Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold, and in today’s announcement where we combine such renowned acts as Bowling for Soup and Opeth with newer acts like Bury Tomorrow.”

Alongside the trio of headliners, previously confirmed Download 2014 acts include Rob Zombie, Fall Out Boy, Alter Bridge, The Offspring, Status Quo, Steel Panther, Arcane Roots, Trivium, Volbeat and Feed The Rhino.
