A few Download Festival updates
Download have announced the first batch of acts for this year's festival, the big news being that AC/DC will be one of the three headliners. Also on the bill are Them Crooked Vultures, Deftones, Stone Temple Pilots, Megadeth, Motorhead, Bullet For My Valentine, Wolfmother and Volbeat.
To mark the 30th anniversary of rock festivals at Donington, organisers Live Nation have also announced that the site's capacity will be increased this year, making it the biggest UK festival after Glastonbury.
Live Nation COO, John Probyn explained: "The Donington site and its continuing flexibility should take some of the credit for the longevity and success of both Monsters Of Rock and Download Festival. We are thrilled that our 30 year association with the site will be marked not only with a superb line-up, but also by the expansion of Download 2010 to accommodate more festival-goers than ever".
