According to Kerrang! magazine, Kiss, Motörhead and Rise Against have been added to the bill of this year's Download festival. The festival billing is now shaping up as follows:

Kiss (headliner)
Lostprophets (headliner)
The Offspring (headliner)
Judas Priest
Motörhead
Rise Against
Him

Motörhead's Lemmy put his glass of Jack Daniel's down long enough to tell Kerrang!, "We killed them last time and we'll kill them again this time as well!"

Illinois punks Rise Against also can't wait to play to a field full of muddy rock fans: "Bring it on!" laughed bassist Joe Principe. "It's going to be a lot of fun. We love playing in England, so Download will be a definite highlight. I think we will never take for granted when people ask us to play festivals like that. I think that it's a great honour. There's a million bands out there and they pick us to play. It means that we're doing something right!"
