Download’s Classic Rock Sunday?
After some super-spy work, Metal Hammer understands that Download may be a Classic Rock paradise on its closing night.
The Metal Hammer moles have been busy this lunchtime and with Slipknot already having confirmed their appearance on Saturday, the industry grapevine is now working overtime.
In our exclusive interview Download Festival organizer suggested ZZ Top and Britain’s very own Def Leppard…two names which were strongly reinforced over our spicy pork and chicken noodles. Add to this another name SLITHERING into contention and we wouldn’t be surprised if Download’s Sunday turns into a more classic rock affair.
It also seems as though Heaven & Hell may not be playing the festival after all but come back on Monday for ‘Day Of Reckoning’ when both Download and Metallica’s Knebworth extravaganza are to announce just a small portion of their bills.
Today has seen Slipknot self-confirm as headliners for the Saturday evening and ‘Hammer scribe Beez has his say on why they deserve it.

A Classic Rock Sunday sounds great but I was really looking forward to Heaven and Hell. I really hope those guys still play even if it’s not on the sunday.
When do tickets go on sale??
Where is SAXON?
This would be great news if true. As I have said sometimes you have to look to the past to move forward in the future. These were some of the bands that made Download what it is today and we should show them some respect for still doing what they love more than 20 years down the line.Looks like Download is trying harder to appeal to all fans of Metal & Rock of all genres.
Sebass… saxon at Bloodstock. which is a far better festival than download anyway
what about motorhead, saxon, not a def leppard fan so i wouldn’t watch em,
but lets hope they getting the billing right this year slipknot for saturday is a good idea, don’t fuck it up please dowload guys,
