Avenged Sevenfold announced to headline next year’s edition of Download Festival.

Joining Ozzy Osbourne on top of the bill, the heavy metal band will round things off on Friday night. It will be their second headline set at Download Festival.

Download Festival’s promoter, Andy Copping said: “A real career highlight of mine was giving Avenged Sevenfold their first UK festival headline slot, and I’m thrilled to welcome them back. You don’t often see bands like Avenged Sevenfold top the charts but, much like seeing them live, they’re not to be underestimated.”

The band said:

We are more than honoured to be apart of this legendary show and line up. Being asked to headline Download for the second time is a career highlight. We would like to thank our UK A7X family.

Ozzy Osbourne is set to deliver his first solo performance, headlining on Sunday night.

Download Festival will take place at Donington Park in Leicestershire 8-10 June 2018.
