Note: As only two members of the site were able to attend the festival weekend, we were sadly unable to cover every band performing throughout the day.
The final day of the Download Festival sadly brings along with it the storms and a downpour of rain that lasted pretty much the entire day. This however didnt stop the thousands of festival attendees making the most of the last day of the festival weekend, catching an array of great acts both big and small before having to return back to their every day lives once more the following day:
Tags: Black Veil Brides, Bowling For Soup, Bullet For My Valentine, Deaf Havana, Disturbed, Download Festival, Floods, Framing Hanley, Gwar, Linkin Park, Madina Lake, Malefice, Silverstein, Suicide Silence, The Pretty Reckless, Yashin, You And What Army?

Rating:
Bands who become popular from covering a song usually lead to a quick demise, slowly disintegrate into nothing or are simply rarely ever known for any other song outside the field of diehard fans. Framing Hanley feared to fall into any of these fields with their cover of Lil’ Wayne‘s ‘Lollipop’, but with latest record ‘A Promise To Burn’ they’re confident they’re to push far from the evil side of the double-edged sword. With a string of sold out dates and venue upgrades on their first trip to the UK, they may well have shaked it off.
Welsh openers Brooke (*) don’t kick things off well at all, most notably due to frontman Alex‘s mostly annoying and off tune vocal work. It’s a shame though, as their songs are structured tight and whipped into decent shape, but this is almost completely overlooked by Alex‘s high pitched drones that often break up mid-note. They even manage the almost impossible of making a Jason Derulo song worse than it already is. It’s a wonder why the crowd before them are getting any notable level of entertainment.
