More bands are to follow...but so far thats a good first announcement, we just have to wait for the second batch.  If you like what you see already though, Download have promised an even better Download to last years event so we're excited to see whats still to come!

Here's what Download had to say on their official website:
"Yeah, we know: last year’s Download was something special. Over 120 bands provided three solid days of the most eclectic and ferocious rock ever seen at a festival, playing in blistering hot sunshine to hoards of rock-hungry music mentalists. It was one to remember.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we’re back, in black, with a line-up so smoulderingly hot that it makes your eyes start to ache just reading it.

The rumours are true: AC/DC are retuning to Donington to play Download 2010, celebrating not only 30 years since the very first Monsters or Rock festival but also 30 years since the release of their iconic album Back in Black, one of the best selling records in history.

Joining AC/DC and following two incredible sold out shows at Hammersmith Apollo before Christmas, are supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

If that wasn't enough we've also confirmed Deftones along with Stone Temple Pilots, Bullet For My Valentine, Megadeth, Motörhead, Wolfmother and Volbeat, with plenty more to announce in the coming months."Check out our exclusive LickLibrary Download Festival Interview with Megadeth or type 'Download' into the search box for more great bands!"
