Some of the above offered up the following comments with their addition:
"Download is a festival very close to our hearts and we're thrilled to have been invited back this year alongside some amazing bands" - Matthew Davis-Kreye (FFAF)
"Well, after years of badgering Andy Copping he has finally broken and agreed to let us despoil Download! We’re genuinely excited to finally get to play Castle Donington after all these years - maybe this time without rolling Landrovers and cracking shoulder bones on the journey there (a LONG story!). We hope to see some of you at a loose end, with no one better to watch at CARCASS’ ONLY UK festival appearance this Summer!" - Carcass
"Super stoked about getting back to download with COC, always an honour. It's been waaaaay to long. Up the f***in hammers!" - Pepper Keenan (Corrosion Of Conformity)
"It's going to be so good to be back where it all began for us, so much has happened since our first show at Download 2013. Now the record’s out, it only seems right to be back there tearing sh*t up again with full f****ng force! Download, we're coming for you." - Krokodil
Strong words then from some of the bands added to a bill already including the likes of Slipknot, Muse, Kiss, Faith No More and Marilyn Manson.
