German visual masters Rammstein will bring their outlandish pyrotechnics and techno theatre to the Download Festival on Friday, June 10, 2016.
A performance of epic proportions is guaranteed from the Goth industrial group.
The announcement sees the band return to Donington having previously headlined Download, Europe’s biggest rock and metal festival back in 2013.
They join previously announced headliners Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath for the metal festival.
“I cannot wait for this year- three of the biggest names in rock are heading to Donington. Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath have legacies to rival Download Festival and its rich rock heritage, it’s a match made in rock heaven,” said Download festival promoter Andy Copping.
“The mighty Iron Maiden back after another yet another number one album, the legendary Black Sabbath on their final tour and Rammstein who blow me away every time I see them – their headlining set at Download 2016 will make rock history.”
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday: http://downloadfestival.co.uk/
