We're already in.

Following this morning's announcement that Download Festival will be coming to Australia next year, some huge international acts have been rumoured to perform at the inaugural event. 

Herald Sun has this morning reported that the line-up will "likely include" System Of A Down, Paramore, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Prophets Of Rage and Northlane.

The speculation follows an NME interview with Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland last week, who said when asked about future plans, "I think Bizkit and Korn are doing Australia in March".

Live Nation, Unified and Secret Sounds will bring out the UK-founded rock festival to Melbourne in March.

Live Nation's Nigel Melder told Herald Sun, "There's definitely space for a heavy festival which we want to slowly grow".

The full Australian line-up will be announced next Thursday (9 November).
