Aaaaand breath.

Commenting on their addition to the lineup, Charlie Simpson from Fightstar had the following to say: "We are incredibly excited to be playing our first festival appearance in five years at this year’s Download Festival. Download has always been one of our favourite festivals in the calendar and this year is going to be the best yet! We can't wait to hit the stage again and enjoy the mayhem."

What many will also see as a bit of a surprise addition, A are set to hit Download for the first time in ten years! - "We are stoked to be playing Download again, I think the last time we played it was 10 years ago in 2005, so it’s been while! We are excited to announce that Shay (formally of Kids in Glass Houses) will be joining us on bass for the show and it feels great to have “A” back in our lives. Looking forward to seeing some old and new faces down the front!

And of course, in typically bullish mood, the Cavalera's were not holding back on what to expect from their set, Iggor: "I am super excited to be part of this amazing line up for Download 2015, we can't wait to hit the stage and display some brutality from our new record. See you all on the pit!"
Max: "I am excited to return to Download with Cavalera Conspiracy! I promise you all the most brutal show ever!"
