FESTIVAL NEWS: BLACK SABBATH CONFIRMED FOR DOWNLOAD 2016

Black Sabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler – will be returning to headline Download Festival 2016 on Saturday, June 11.

Nearly five decades on from their beginnings in Birminham, the band will be coming back to the spiritual home of rock at Donington Park as part of their final ever tour, cunningly titled The End, which will see their biggest and most mesmerising production to date.

Based on what Total MK saw in Los Angeles in 2013, it'll be a superb affair.

Download is my favourite summer festival. It's always like coming home.

See you all there!” Ozzy said.

With Iron Maiden already announced as headliners for the Sunday night, Download Festival still has details of one more headliner to announce.

Total MK will keep you posted...

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am. Visit www.downloadfestival.co.uk for more.
