Rammstein To Headline Download 2013

Band herald news with typical, ecstatic verbosity: “It’s only a festival… not a moon landing.”

German metal big-hitters Rammstein have been announced as Sunday night headliners for next year’s Download Festival.

Tickets go on sale at 9am next Friday (September 28) at Download’s website http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/ here.
