It'll be all White on the Sunday night

WHITESNAKE have become the latest act to self-confirm themselves for Download Festival - and have announced Def Leppard are also coming to the Castle Donington shindig.
In a post on their myspace site, it says: "Whitesnake are very happy to announce they have committed to playing a one-off UK gig in 2009 at the Download Festival on June 14 with Def Leppard.
"In these uncertain times, when it is economically difficult for some people to get to see rock shows in their major cities, then it is the responsibility of the artist to take their music to the people.
"Whitesnake's show at the Download Festival will mark the fourth time the band has performed at Donington Park - 1981, 1983, 1990 and now 2009."
