With less than 4 months until the Download gates open up for another year, day tickets to Download 2012 have now been released and are onsale now!
Speaking about this year's event, Download band booker Andy Copping commented: "This year’s Download is going from strength to strength and the line up is shaping up nicely. We've had a phenomenal reaction to weekend tickets, and have decided to go on sale with day tickets early. Happy days!"
As well as the news about day tickets, organisers also added a bunch of other bands to the Download 2012 line-up. Metalcore masters Killswitch Engage, who are returning with original frontman Jesse Leach back behind the mic, will be making their presence known at this year's festival. In addition, the multi-million selling Shinedown will also be in attendance this year, as well as last year’s biggest rock newcomers Black Veil Brides.
Not only that, but DIY punk masters NOFX, epic progressive metallers Opeth and symphonic Scandinavians Nightwish have also been confirmed for this year’s festival.
Oh, and organisers have just announced a very cool new RIP package – the RIP Metal Hotel, details of which are available HERE.
