System Of A Down have been confirmed as one of the headliners of the Kerrang!-sponsored Download festival, which is set to take place at Donington Park in Leicestershire between June 10 - 12, 2011.
Download will be one of the recently reunited band's first shows since they went on hiatus in 2006. During their time away frontman Serj Tankian embarked on a successful solo career, releasing two albums - 2007's Elect The Dead and this year's Imperfect Harmonies - while guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan formed Scars On Broadway, whose eponymous debut album was released in July 2008.
