Against Me!, Marmozets, Royal Blood & 15 More For Download Festival
See who else is heading to Donington this summer
With just 81 days to go until the Donington rock institution kicks off, Download organisers have added 18 fresh acts to the impressive bill!
Leading the fresh wave of names are the mighty Against Me!, Brighton’s prodigal sons Royal Blood, melodic math-punksters Marmozets and Geordie rockers The Wildhearts 20 years on from their first Donington appearance. Wildhearts guitarist CJ said: “Well they just can't get rid of us. It's only 20 years since we first played Donington and in 2008 they turned the power off on us. Who knows what will happen this year...Bring it on!”
Marmozets said in a joint statement: “We’re looking forward to playing at Download 2014. It was a blast last time and it opened a few doors up for us as a band.”
