In just two days and way ahead of next summer's festival, the organizers of Download Festival have announced two of the headliners.

Today it has been announced that Rammstein will be joining Iron Maiden to headline Download 2013.

Rammstein will headline the Sunday June 16th and close the festival with their infamous live show. Unbelievably it will be the first time the German industrial metal titans have played Donington.

Iron Maiden will bring their 'Maiden England' tour set and production to headline on Saturday June 15th.

Frontman Bruce Dickinson issued the following statement:

“We’re absolutely over the moon to be headlining Donington again. The idea of returning exactly 25 years later with a show inspired by that same 1988 “Seventh Son” Tour, was too good an opportunity to be missed! And, thanks to modern technology, we’ve been able to update and improve on the original production. We will be bringing a huge new lightshow, stage set, various incarnations of Eddie, plenty of pyro and all kinds of other exciting stuff for the fans. And of course treating the fans to lots of their favourite songs from that period! We’ve had many great times at Donington and there is always a wonderful mix of bands and a really wild crowd who love their metal, all of which makes for a memorable show andfantastic party atmosphere!"

Download 2013 will take place at Donington Park from June 14th to 16th.
