Tons of new names have been announced for Download 2014 – including a very special set from some metal heavyweights.

Trivium will be making a triumphant return to the festival by reliving one of its most legendary moments – and in the most intimate of surroundings imaginable.

“We are thrilled to be returning to Download for our fifth time,” explains bassist Paolo Gregoletto. “In honour of both the festival and fans that embraced Trivium first, we have decided to play our 2005 set list from start to finish, preceded by a set of some our other festival favourite tunes. However, to make it all the more unique, we will be playing this ‘one time only’ set on the Red Bull Stage, the most intimate and intense setting possible for revisiting this special moment in time. We have had some of our best experiences as a band on the hallowed grounds of Donington, and this is shaping up to be one of our most exciting ones yet! Do not miss it!”

Like we said, this is gonna be special. Also joining the bill are pop punk icons The Offspring, rock ‘n’ roll veterans Status Quo, Swedish melodeath heavyweights In Flames and LA glamsters Steel Panther!

“Fish and chips. Tea and biscuits. Monty and Pythons. Steel Panther and Download Festival,” offers Panther drummer Stix Zadinia. “These are four examples of how nature has been able to strike the perfect balance of harmony and elegance between two glorious and powerful things. We are so excited to come back and play Download Festival 2014. This was the place where we were truly introduced to the UK and it always feels like a homecoming to us. We in Steel Panther, are going to attempt to rock you so hard, that it will take you approximately one whole year to recover, only to muster enough energy to come back to DL2015 the following year to try to handle the power again! Roll on June!”

Also joining the bill are The Black Dahlia Murder, While She Sleeps, Blessthefall, Crossfaith, Letlive, Miss May I and, of course, Dying Fetus.

They all join headliners Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park and Aerosmith, plus Rob Zombie, Fall Out Boy and Alter Bridge.
