Download has signed Slipknot and The Prodigy to play this year's festival.
The UK's biggest rock festival will feature appearances from some of the genre's top acts.
Heavy metal nine-piece Slipknot have been signed up to play this year's Download, which is held at Donington Park on June 12th to 14th.
The group will return to the festival for the third time in a break from their All Hope Is Gone world tour, with the organiser's promising: "Expect more masked mayhem from the controversial headline act."
On the event's website it is also revealed: "Making their second appearance at Download, The Prodigy will be injecting a dose of fierce electronica and rock-rave beats, promising a performance not to be missed."
In addition, hair metal icons Motley Crue will blast out hits such as Dr Feelgood and Girls Girls Girls, while Pendulum have been signed up to perform their unique blend of drum'n'bass and metal.
Other acts currently on this year's bill include Korn, Dragonforce and Devildriver.
Last year, Download was headlined by Kiss, The Offspring and Lostprophets, while Judas Priest, Motorhead, Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World also appeared.
