2 words, Heavy and Metal, Normally around 100 acts play. And they are the very best of metal and rock. The main acts this year about going to be Metallica, Slipknot, Rage against the machine and System of a down. Other bands that are expected to play but not confirmed yet are Escape the Fate, Korn, HIM and many more. If you are attending you will want to look out for the upcoming band falling in reverse. The concert takes place at Donington Park in Leicestershire and lasts for 3 days from Friday to Sunday. Tickets can be bought off the official Download website.
This year the main act to see is Rage against the machine who reached the top of the Christmas charts in 2009 with the song “Killing in the name of” beating Joe McElderry the Xfactor winner by 50,000 copies. They are also doing a free concert at Finsbury Park on Sunday 6 June to thank people for getting them to number one.
The concert last over 5 nights. The campsite opens on a Wednesday and closes on a Monday, and the arena opens on Friday. They are very strict on rouge camping around the time of the festival anyone found on private property can be arrested by the police. There is parking at the camp site. If you have a weekend ticket you get a wristband so that it is easier to pass in and out of the concert.
The campsites have :
• Toilets
• Parking
• ATM machines
• Café
• Off sales bar and catering units
• Full secure with fences, Security guards, first aid provision and an information centre.
In previous years the tickets have had codes on them to download some tracks from the bands that are playing at the festival. The first download festival was held in 2003 there headliners were Iron maiden and Limp Bizkit but limp Bizkit pulled out and were replaced by audioslave.
