Seems like just yesterday I was enviously reporting on the events of Download 2009 (from my pokey wee office in Glasgow). And it seems that the same will happen again this year. This is made worse with the news that AC/DC will headline Download 2010 (the 30th anniversary of Monsters of Rock festival), which takes place at Donington Park June 11-13 2010. Tickets will sell out fast because Angus and Malcolm Young, Brian Johnson, Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd (collectively known as AC/DC) will be joined by the likes of Them Crooked Vultures, Deftones, Megadeth, Motorhead, Stone Temple Pilots, Bullet For My Valentine and Wolfmother (many more bands to be confirmed).

Tickets go on sale this Friday(January 29th) from the Download Festival website and ticket sellers including TicketMaster.

So for those who may not have heard, the Foo Fighters are on a break after a 15 year career. Meanwhile, the Dave Grohl side-project (“Dave Grohl’s New Band”), Them Crooked Vultures, featuring the considerable talents of Grohl (once again at the back of the band), QOTSA’s Josh Homme (guitar and vocals) and John Paul Jones (bass guitar) of Led Zeppelin, release their first studio album (self-titled) on November 17. You can download a free Them Crooked Vultures track (Mind Eraser, No Chaser) from iTunes or check out the You Tube “vid” below (for the track New Fang).
