A batch of brand new names have been added to Download Festival’s 2016 line-up, including Glaswegian rock outfit Twin Atlantic and ex- Gallows man Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes. The Donington Park event, an important date on the calendar for fans of the heavier side of rock music, seems to be taking shape very nicely.
Also featuring amongst the 33 new confirmed acts are metalcore stars Architects and festival favourites Skindred, who will bring their brand of reggae infused rock to a monster weekend of music beginning Friday 10 June.
