Download adds Def Leppard to impressive line up!

Def Load or Down Leppard? How about Load Leppard?

Def Leppard has been added as opening-night headliner June 10 for the annual Download Festival at Donnington, U.K., and it should be quite a three-day event.

Here are the confirmed bands, many of whom were announced just today.

For a little fun on the side, how many of the bands feature members who played the Sunset Strip back in the day?
