Kiss and Muse will join Slipknot at this year\u2019s Download festival as 2015\u2019s headliners. With the make-up-mad metal veterans scheduled for their second Donington Park appearance on Sunday, the Devonshire trio will make their debut as Saturday\u2019s main headliner. Meanwhile, Slipknot top the bill at Europe\u2019s biggest rock festival on Friday. <\/p>\n
While Muse have headlined festivals and stadiums across the globe, this will be their first time at the Donington event. \u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to Download,\u201d the band said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019ve never played the festival before so it\u2019s going to be really special.\u201d Their performance is said to be tied in with the release of their forthcoming album, which Matt Bellamy has suggested would be ready by next summer.<\/p>\n
Muse are supported by San Francisco rap-metallers Faith No More, who return to the festival for the first time since their 2009 comeback. Their show will follow the release of their first album in 18 years, due in April 2015. \u201cHard to believe it\u2019s been five years already, but what\u2019s harder to deny is that a lot has changed,\u201d said Faith No More. \u201cThe last time we played Download the focus was on bringing back the past; now it\u2019s all about the present and the future. Where it should be.\u201d<\/p>\n
After previous years spent as support on the main stage, Marilyn Manson will take a step on to the second stage for his debut headline show. His set will come in the wake of his forthcoming Pale Emperor album, which gets its first UK festival outing at Donington. \u201cThe Pale Emperor will rise and I was born to cause chaos,\u201d Manson said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kiss bring their pyrotechnics to Donington for the second time, as well as having played at Monsters of Rock in 1988 and 1996. \u201cTo all our fans \u2013 our intention is to get on that stage, blow the heavens to smithereens and take no prisoners,\u201d said bassist Gene Simmons.<\/p>\n
Hellraisers M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce are the band\u2019s main support on Sunday, making their last ever festival performance at the rock event before they disband \u201cfor good\u201d in early 2016. Slash \u2013 alongside Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators \u2013 will make his second appearance at the festival on Sunday, while Enter Shikari are announced as the second stage headliners on the festival\u2019s final day.<\/p>\n
The aforementioned acts will join Slipknot, Judas Priest, Black Stone Cherry, A Day to Remember and Five Finger Death Punch at the festival, which takes place from 12 to 14 June 2015.<\/p>\n
