Candidate for the Worst Rock Festival Ever?

Def Leppard are among four new acts to be added to this year's Download Festival bill.

The band will be headlining the main stage alongside Slipknot, while Whitesnake are set to return to Donington Park for the fourth time.

The other two acts announced for the event, which takes place between 12-14 June, are the recently reformed Limp Bizkit and US heavy metallers Trivium.

Other bands already on the bill include The Prodigy and Motley Crue.

Pendulum, Korn, DragonForce and Devildriver are also confirmed to appear.

The rock festival, which is now in its seventh year, will see performances from around 100 bands.

Previous headliners at the event have included System of a Down, Metallica and Black Sabbath.

Tickets are available from 9am on 13 February.

now I love Soundgarden so I'm going. but if this gives you an idea of how badly this thing is selling, a seller just dumped a shitload of tickets on Stubhub in the lower bowl for $6.

I thought this had been revived for that insane Fyre festival story.

That's got its own thread.

And I thought the same thing.

Ah on ILM, dont usually look thar.

Ok i am clearly behind. *jets to that thread*

I wouldn't mind seeing Bow Wow Wow, but otherwise this seems like a "Cheese of the 80s" fest. And it's on Catalina Island, so more money to get there.

And hosted by Richard Blade, King of Cheese!

But not Richard Cheese himself.

Headlining artist "Oingo Boingo Former Members" is one of the saddest things I've ever seen on a gig poster

Sadder than "Wally Palmar of the Romantics?"

Josie Cotton!

This shit is stupid fuckin expensive
