According to their official website, Deftones are to play Download Festival.

Their website lists a bunch of festival dates in Europe for May and June, and says that they'll perform at Download on 10th June "or 9th" - presumably because their slot hasn't been fully firmed up as yet.

In other news, Download have now confirmed Metallica to play on the Saturday. Metallica revealed the information on their website yesterday.

Download Festival takes place from Friday 9th until Sunday 11th June 2006, at Donington Park, Leicestershire, and so far the only confirmed acts are: Metallica, The Prodigy, Trivium, and Bullet For My Valentine. The full line-up will feature around a hundred of the world's best metal and rock bands.

Tickets are on sale, priced at £115 for the three days, or £135 including camping and parking. Campervans cost £35, and parking is £5 in advance or £10 on the day. Click here to buy online now.
