Now celebrating the 10th year since its inception, it’s obvious that to mark this important milestone in the event’s history, Download Festival was going to make it truly special weekend to remember. If we weren’t there, we would have thrown a tantrum. Here’s our review of what we thought of the Sunday of what would undoubtedly be a fantastic weekend of rock, metal, punk and alternative music:

Hosted at the grounds of Knebworth, we got involved with the Sonisphere festivities now that the event has been extended to a three-day weekend with all of its stages. After a big first night with The Big 4, we were delivered with the brilliant Scottish trio Biffy Clyro for the Saturday main event, brought of course with other excellent bands throughout the day. Though we weren’t allowed photo access to the Apollo and Saturn stages to take shots of the big guns, our snappy photographer did manage to catch all the other great action across the arena.

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?
