Download 2008
The 3 headline acts and the first 4 support acts have been announced for this year's Download Festival.
Kiss, The Offspring and Lostprophets are set to be the daily headliners for the main stage at the Donington Park event over the weekend of June 13, 14 and 15.
Mötorhead, HIM and Rise Against have been announced as daily headliners of the second stage.
Judas Priest have been announced as very, special guests and although it hasn't been confirmed on which day it is rumoured they will be appearing with Kiss.
I'll be honest and say that of the 7 bands announced I would only be interested in seeing 1 of them; Mötorhead, and I've already seen them before. I'm in no rush to go and get tickets; even if I could afford them. I will be waiting and seeing if anybody else is announced that could persuade me to part with £150; a £15 rise on the 2007 ticket price.

Tali has no intentions of going this year with such crap headlining. She's going to go to bloodstock instead
I'm going to see Nightwish at the end of March and unless there are some seriously impressive names added to the list for Download I'm seriously thinking of giving it a miss this year too. I had a look at the lineup for Bloodstock and must admit that Dimmu Borgir would be the only band to interest me.
