Black Star Riders have been added to the bill for this year’s Download festival, replacing Buckcherry on the main stage on June 15.
The Thin Lizzy offshoot, fronted by Ricky Warwick, are also celebrating their debut album All Hell Breaks Loose reaching number 25 in the UK charts.
Warwick says: “Download is one of my favourite festivals and to be added to the main stage bill for this year with such a fantastic lineup – to say we are ecstatic is an understatement. It’s going to be a great day. Thanks to all the support from everyone that’s contributed to our success to date.”
Festival promoter Andy Copping adds: “The BSR Machine is going from strength to strength, and when the opportunity of a slot became available it was a no-brainer who should be offered it. We’re very happy to have Black Star Riders on the bill this year.”
Buckcherry were forced to pull out due to “reasons beyond their control.” The 2013 addition of the iconic Donington Park festival stars Slipknot, Iron Maiden and Rammstein.
