Joining KISS, The Offspring and Lostprophets on the weekend of 13, 14, 15 June at Donington Park will be Irish rockers Ash who make their Download debut, the AC/DC-influenced Airbourne, Kentucky's newest export Black Stone Cherry, drum 'n' bass/ rock crossover act Pendulum, Kerrang! faves Elliot Minor who we first saw at Download last year on the Dimebag stage, and ex-KISS guitarist Ace Frehley! With all six acts representing a different strand of the huge rock umbrella, there's certainly something for everyone at Download this year!The day & stage splits - so far - have also been revealed. Up against the main headliners KISS on Friday 13 will be Simple Plan, with their energetic pop punk rivalling the outrageous glam-rockers. Saturday 14 sees Orange County main headliners The Offspring up against the darker sounds of HIM, and Sunday 15 has Lostprophets - the only Brit headliner this year- rivalling the brutal return of Max and Igor Cavalera with their new incarnation The Cavalera Conspiracy. In addition, Friday presents the rare opportunity to see both Ace Frehley and KISS perform on the same day - a must for any KISS fan.
