Avenged Sevenfold Join System Of A Down On 2011's Download Festival Line-Up

American heavy rockers, Avenged Sevenfold, have been confirmed to perform at 2011's Download Festival.

The Californian band will join reforming System Of A Down for the Donington Park weekend bash that will take place between June 11th and June 12th 2011.

Releasing their fifth studio album earlier this year, 'Nightmare'  is the first Avenged Sevenfold record without founding member James "The Rev" Sullivan performing drums due to his death in December 2009, although he had a large role as a songwriter. Mike Portnoy, formerly of Dream Theater, performed as the drummer for the album in his place and will as of now play with the band on all upcoming tours.

'Nightmare' debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 selling 163,000 copies, surpassing its predecessor in first week sales. This debut ended Eminem's five week reign atop the Billboard 200, and pushed 'Recovery' to Number Two. It is the first album by Avenged Sevenfold to top the Billboard 200 chart.

Speaking about the Download Festival announcement, organiser Andy Copping announced that tickets for Donington Park weekend bash will go onsale from Friday 3rd December. “Christmas comes early!
