SHUT the front door! Guns N’ Roses have been announced as
the Saturday night headliners for Download 2018 with Avenged Sevenfold and Ozzy
Osbourne also named as bill-toppers.
With Slash and Duff McKagan rejoining Axl Rose in the
band, Guns have been tearing up the place on tour over the past few months.
Download booker Andy Copping has joined the rest of the
festival’s regulars in being filled with excitement at the prospect of seeing the
band at Donington next summer.
He said: “I am sure I am not alone when I say I have been
wanting this to happen for years.
"It will be an incredible show and will be one
of the highlights of the Download weekend.”
No shit Sherlock.
Ozzy Osbourne had previously been revealed as the Sunday
headliner in what will be his first solo performance at Download in what could
be his final UK festival appearance.
Copping says: “The Download family are without a shadow
of a doubt, in for a treat.”
And the third headliner will be Avenged Sevenfold, who
are fast becoming one of the biggest metal bands in the world.
That man Copping counts putting them top of the bill a
few years back as a career highlight and the band themselves are delighted to
be coming back.
They said: “We are more than honoured to be a part of
this legendary show and line up. Being asked to headline Download for the
second time is a career highlight. We would like to thank our UK A7X
family”
Download Festival takes place from June 8th to
10th at Donington Park, Leicestershire. For more information and
