Kiss For Download 2008
Get ready to RAAAAWK because Kiss, Offspring, Motorhead and Lost Prophets will be moshing up a frenzy at Download Festival this summer. Full line-up and details below.
Back for its six year of hard rocking musical debauchery, Download will this year play host to Kiss, The Offspring, Lost Prophets, Judas Priest, Motorhead, HIM and Rise Against with more acts to be announced.
Kiss frontman and long-tongued reality TV star Gene Simmons said:
"For 35 years we have prided ourselves in our opening: 'You wanted the best, you got the best, the hottest band in the world'.
"We are throwing down the gauntlet. Let those who are faint of heart, take heed. We will take no prisoners”.
Well that's reassuring, thanks Simmons.
Taking place at Donnington Park over the weekend of June 13, 14, 15, the campsite opens two days earlier (June 11) with a whole host of alternative entertainment on offer.
Last year saw over 75,000 festival goers rock out in the scorching sun for three days to music from the likes of Motley Crue, Linkin Park and Gallows.
