Metal Hammer are deliriously excited to confirm that legendary supergroup Down are to headline the Metal Hammer stage at High Voltage festival! Get your High Voltage tickets here!

Metal Hammer couldn’t be happier to announce that the mighty Down will headline the Metal Hammer stage at the first ever High Voltage festival. They join Clutch and Black Label Society and a whole host of other bands yet to be announced.

“Classic Rock and Metal Hammer are two of my favorite magazines, so I’m really looking forward to High Voltage,” says Down’s Pepper Keenan. “With those two magazines involved, it’s definitely going to be a winner. The line-up for this thing is pretty sweet. Bachman Turner Overdrive, man. Where were you in ’69?”

“I’m really looking forward to this one. I think it’s going to be awesome,” says guitarist Kirk Windstein. “Down isn’t playing a whole lot of live shows at the moment, because Phil is still resting his back. High Voltage is one of the only places we’re playing right now. I’m excited about BTO being on the bill. ‘Not Fragile’ was one of the first records I ever owned as a kid. Maybe we’ll have a jam session. That’ll be awesome.”

Also joining the High Voltage bill will be Joe Bonamassa, The Answer, Magnum and Gary Moore!

High Voltage are also still selling tickets at Early Bird prices (Saturday 24th: £65/Sunday 25th: £65/Weekend: £120) until 12pm today (January 8th). Classic Rock subscribers will be able to claim tickets at this price up until the festival sells out.
