After our speculation with regards to The Prodigy and the Rock AM Ring overspill, it turns out the first band to confirm for this year’s Download Festival are veteran rockers, Heaven and Hell. According to the forthcoming tour schedule, the band are set for an appearance on 12 June – that’s the Friday, in case you were wondering.
Heaven and Hell – essentially Dio-era Black Sabbath – have said they will only be playing Sabbath material from the periods when Ronnie James Dio was fronting the band – and of course, material from their forthcoming and as-yet-untitled new album.
