After the announcement earlier this week that Ozzy Osbourne will be one of the three headline acts at Download Festival 2018, it can now be revealed that Avenged Sevenfold will also be topping the bill.

The three-day festival takes place between 8th and 10th June 2018 at the spiritual home of Metal in Donington Park, Leicestershire. Tickets are available now right here.

Avenged Sevenfold will return to Download Festival to give a momentous Friday night headline performance.

From the genre-defining Metal-core album 'City Of Evil', the hard rock UK number one 'Hail To The King' through to the latest progressive Metal sounds of 'The Stage', Avenged Sevenfold have an epic history of modern Metal classics, a stage show to make Rammstein jealous and a proven track record of smashing anything that comes their way.

Avenged Sevenfold said:

"We are more than honoured to be a part 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."

Download Festival Promoter Andy Copping told us:

"A real career highlight of mine was giving Avenged Sevenfold their first ever 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."
