Evile To Play Download Festival 2011

British thrashers Evile are among the latest artists to be confirmed for this year's edition of the Download festival, which takes place 10-12 June at Donington Park. Evile will be performing alongside the likes of such acts as Def Leppard and System of a Down.

Evile drummer Ben Carter comments: "Evile are both honoured and excited to be making our first appearance at Download this year! Donington has been the spiritual home of rock and metal for so many years, now finally we can make our mark there and become part of that legacy. I've attended Download in the past, and seen many bands perform on the smaller stages and go on to huge success, and I think that's what Download can do for a band. There's something about the place that's special, so we're all so eager to get on stage and have our Download moment! BRING IT ON!"
