Published 27th Sep 2012

Slipknot join Iron Maiden and Rammstein as headliners of the Donington bash, which takes place on the weekend of 14-16 June.

Slipknot's Clown said: "We are extremely honored to have been asked once again to headline the Download Festival. This most definitely will be an experience not to be missed. Every time we've played Download we have created memories. Its always good to have the church of the Knot, the alter of the Knot, giving the sermon of the Knot to the congregation of the Knot, the culture of the Knot. This summer cannot come soon enough. Partake in the imagination or don't bitch" 

Tickets for this year's festival are on sale at 9am tomorrow.
