As we continue to roll onward towards another gigantic weekend at Donington, the Download Festival organisers have laid on an Easter treat sweeter than that chocolate egg that's currently sitting in your kitchen calling your name. As well as the addition of some new bands to the line-up the festival have also announced that 2018 will indeed see the return of the vastly popular WWE NXT event which is scheduled to take place across the whole weekend. Constantly packed out at Download 2017, WWE NXT proved to be one of the most popular attractions at the whole festival, hosting stars who are now in the big leagues on WWE programming. So want to check out some of the future stars of professional wrestling with a pint of your chosen beverage in hand and a hoard of like-minded fans around you? Then get yourself down to Download Festival this June.

Alongside the WWE NXT announcement, the organisers were also very pleased to reveal that the following acts have also joined the line-up which already boasts headliners Guns N' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold and Ozzy Osbourne along with the likes of Marilyn Manson, Parkway Drive, Marmozets, Bullet For My Valentine and much much more:
