Download Festival supremo Andy Copping has done it again… Two of the three headliners for Download 2013 have been announced, namely Iron Maiden and Rammstein! These two alone are enough to induce floods of sex wee from within TINAS Towers and we wait with baited breath as to who the third headline act will be? We hope it TOOL, no, we REALLY hope it’s TOOL…
Iron Maiden will be bringing their triumphant “Maiden England” tour to Donington Park on the 25th Anniversary of their first headline performance at the legendary home of rock in 1988 – when an astounding 107,000 fans turned out to see their spectacular “Seventh Son” show – still the highest ever attendance there.
Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson commented:
“We’re absolutely over the moon to be headlining Donington again. We will be bringing a huge new lightshow, stage set, various incarnations of Eddie, plenty of pyro and all kinds of other exciting stuff for the fans.”
Rammstein are infamous all over the world for their spectacular live show, and their set at Download next year will be the first time the band have ever played Donington – so expect them to be pulling out all the stops to make sure it’s a truly unforgettable performance.
