System Of A Down, Biffy Clyro and Aerosmith have been announced to headline Download Festival 2017 .
The celebration of all things hard rock will once again take place at Donington Park between Friday 9th and Sunday 11th June and has a trio of guitar wielding greats topping the bill in its 15th year.
System Of A Down will put in their third gargantuan performance on the main stage while the likes of Slayer, Rob Zombie, Prophets Of Rage, Five Finger Death Punch, AFI and Of Mice & Men will bring the noise across the festival's four other stages.
Last year's line up included Rammstein, Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath and with more names yet to be added, 2017 is set to be equally as monstrous.
