Linkin Park can't wait to headline this coming weekend's Download Festival and admit it's a dream come true. 

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, frontman Chester Bennington explained what performing at Donington means to the nu-metal act:

"Being American we never had many good rock festivals to go to as kids. Donington is a place we all dreamed of playing when we were growing up. Now we are headlining, it’s awesome.”

He also revealed some details about their stage setup and what fans should expect:

We tend to play big outdoor gigs so it won’t be too different. On this tour we decided to bring all the imagery and visuals of our album A Thousand Suns on the road with us. There’s a strong narrative.”
