When it comes to Download, line-up announcements can’t always be 100% good news. Such is the sigh I make when reporting that European Evanescence-imitators, Within Temptation, and tedious-to-fuck emo-punk-popsters Simple Plan have both been added to the bill.

The bitter pill is somewhat sweetened by the prospect of the much-still-to-prove Cavalera Conspiracy, shit-throwing types The Dillinger Escape Plan, and intermission-at-last-year’s-Eurovision-Song-Contect-types, Apocalyptica.

Download Festival takes place at Donnington Park near Derby, from Friday 13 June 2008 to Sunday 15 June 2008. Click here for more details.
