Limp Bizkit, Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Trivium are now officially confirmed for an appearance at Donington Park.

Following Whitesnake mistakenly revealing they were Download-bound yesterday, the festival’s organisers have now officially confirmed the metal legends’ appearance. They will hit the stage before Def Leppard, who have now been confirmed as one of the festival’s other headliners. Slipknot and The Prodigy had been annnounced as headliners at the start of the week.

Also appearing will be nu-metal titans Limp Bizkit. Once again, the news comes shortly after the five-piece had announced they were getting back together again. Trivium, the Floridian thrashers, will also play Download.

The festival takes place between June 12 and 14. Tickets are on sale now.
