Commenting on the announcement, Download's Andy Copping stated how excited he is with the line-up so far, a sentiment we're more than sure will be felt by many others too - "We're incredibly excited to announce three legends as Download 2019 headliners. It's not quite been 10,000 Days since we have been able to indulge in one of our favourite alt-rock bands, but after thirteen years I am thrilled to announce Tool are finally making their long-awaited return to Download. Renowned for being one of the best live bands on the planet due to their one-of-a-kind performances, Slipknot are an incredible addition to the main stage. Last but not least, I am honoured to welcome true Rock N' Roll legends Def Leppard to Download who bring with them a UK exclusive chance to see Hysteria played in full."

You read that correctly - Hysteria in FULL. Joe Elliot from Def Leppard has added to the excitement, "We are delighted to be going back to headline Download in 2019! The festival has a very special place in our hearts and it's such a great place to play. We will be playing Hysteria in full - yes, in full! - plus a load more of the hits, and we are going to put on a very special show for our UK fans. Can't wait to see you all there!"
