While Muse have headlined festivals and stadiums across the globe, this will be their first time at the Donington event. “We’re really looking forward to Download,” the band said in a statement. “We’ve never played the festival before so it’s going to be really special.” 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.
Muse are supported by San Francisco rap-metallers Faith No More,whoreturn 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. “Hard to believe it’s been five years already, but what’s harder to deny is that a lot has changed,” said Faith No More. “The last time we played Download the focus was on bringing back the past; now it’s all about the present and the future. Where it should be.”
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. “The Pale Emperor will rise and I was born to cause chaos,” Manson said.
Meanwhile, Kiss bring their pyrotechnics to Donington for the second time, as well as having played at Monsters of Rock in 1988 and 1996. “To all our fans – our intention is to get on that stage, blow the heavens to smithereens and take no prisoners,” said bassist Gene Simmons.
Hellraisers Mötley Crüe are the band’s main support on Sunday, making their last ever festival performance at the rock event before they disband “for good” in early 2016. Slash – alongside Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators – will make his second appearance at the festival on Sunday, while Enter Shikari are announced as the second stage headliners on the festival’s final day.
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.
