Download’s Andy Copping adds: “We’re incredibly excited to announce three legends as Download 2019 headliners.

“It’s not quite been 10,000 Days since we have been able to indulge in one of our favourite alt-rock bands, but after 13 years, I am thrilled to announce Tool are finally making their long-awaited return to Download.
