Linkin Park have revealed that headlining this year's Download festival will be a dream come true.

The band will join previously announced headliners System Of A Down at the event, which runs from June 10-12.

''Being American we never had many good rock festivals to go to as kids. Donington is a place we all dreamed of playing when we were growing up. Now we are headlining, it’s awesome,'' frontman Chester Bennington told the Daily Star.

Speaking about their upcoming performance, he added: ''We tend to play big outdoor gigs so it won’t be too different, On this tour we decided to bring all the imagery and visuals of our album A Thousand Suns on the road with us. There’s a strong narrative.”
