The Prodigy, Metallica and Black Sabbath to headline Download 2012

It's official - Download is back, returning to Donington Park in June 2012, and it's safe to say that 2012 is going to be our biggest year ever.

You already know the news by now: The Prodigy are coming back to Download in 2012, and have promised to deliver their most energetic and spectacular performance they’ve ever put on at Donington. Following some phenomenal sets in previous years, this is sure to be one incredible show.

"We have chosen to headline Download Festival as our only uk festival show next year," said the band on Facebook. "(We) will be playin some new songs for the first time from our next album due later 2012 ........ see you there - Liam, Keef & Maxim".

Metallica will be headlining Saturday night at Download, performing The Black Album in its entirety, whilst the mighty Black Sabbath will be marking their hugely anticipated comeback with a headline slot on the Sunday night at the festival.

Metallica, the multi-million selling, Grammy award winning band will visit Donington for the SEVENTH time in their career, having played both Monsters of Rock and Download festivals during their epic career.

Black Sabbath certainly need no introduction and no explanation. Widely regarded as creators of heavy metal, the hugely influential band from Aston, Birmingham, have sold in excess of 70 million records worldwide and are responsible for all time classic rock anthems such as Paranoid, War Pigs and Iron Man.
