With the recent announcements that Soundgarden would be appearing at the 2012 edition of the Download Festival and Little Angels had reformed especially for the event, the line-up has gained a few more quality additions…and Steel Panther.

Also now confirmed for the UK festival are Megadeth, the legendary Slash and stoner band Kyuss Lives – effectively a full-blown Kyuss reunion band, bar Josh Homme.  Also appearing are the comedy glam band Steel Panther and popular punks Rise Against.

The festival takes place at Donington Park between 8th-10th June and will be headlined by Metallica, The Prodigy and the original line-up of Black Sabbath.
