Sunday 16 June 2013: Download Festival – THE biggest weekend in the rock calendar – took place this weekend as 90,000 people rocked out in Donington Park to headliners Slipknot, Iron Maiden and Rammstein plus a host of other bands across the weekend.<\/p>\n

Crowds of rock fans packed out Donington Park as the opening day of Download saw Asking Alexandria, Papa Roach, Architects, Korn, Bullet for My Valentine all perform mind blowing sets throughout the day, while bands like Fearless Vampire Killers, Fidlar and The Algorithm ripped up the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage.<\/p>\n

Slipknot had Donington in the palm of their hand as they opened their set with \u2018Distasterpiece\u2019 before launching into \u2018Liberate\u2019, \u2018Wait and Bleed\u2019, \u2018Before I Forget\u2019 and \u2018Psychosocial\u2019. A moment that will go down in Download history followed when 90,000 people knelt down on Donignton\u2019s sacred ground before \u201cjumping the fuck up\u201d during a raging rendition of \u2018Spit It Out\u2019.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s epic lineup saw Queens of the Stone Age make their Download debut as the sun beamed down on the home of rock, while Motorhead, Alice In Chains, Mastodon, Enter Shikari, Jimmy Eat World, The Hives, Kvelertak and many more all played blinding sets.<\/p>\n

A Spitfire circled Donington Park before Iron Maiden burst onto stage with their headline set bringing the Maiden England tour to the festival marking 25 years since the band first headlined Donington Park. The set included \u2018Run To The Hills\u2019, \u2018Fear of the Dark\u2019, \u2018The Number of the Beast\u2019 and an encore of \u2018Aces High\u2019, \u2018The Evil That Men Do\u2019 and \u2018Running Free\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The closing day of Download has already seen crowds roaring with sets from Coal Chamber, Five Finger Death Punch, Parkway Drive, with Limp Bizkit, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Gaslight Anthem, A Day To Remember and many more still to come. And of course everyone is gearing up for a stunning set from tonight\u2019s headliners Rammstein, who will close the festival with a set that\u2019s sure to contend for rock show of the year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Download Festival promoter Andy Copping commented: \u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing weekend. We\u2019ve had over 150 bands across five stages and a trio of ground breaking, world class headliners. Having Iron Maiden back 25 years after they first headlined Donington was an incredible moment. Slipknot as usual delivered an unforgettable set, and Rammstein tonight will be the first time the band have played Donington.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other activity on site included The Red Bull Studios live at Download, which\u00a0 culminated in an exciting series of sets from some of the UK’s hottest emerging bands. Croydon trio Press To Meco were met with a raucous overspilling tent whilst Aberdeen four piece Semperfi had the electric crowds shouting back their lyrics.\u00a0 The highlight for fellow Aberdeen cohorts Akord was undoubtedly accepting an impromptu invite to play on the main stage during Down’s set to a 70k strong crowd. Having previously nurtured the cream of new rock talent such as Radio 1 favourites Don Broco, Red Bull Studios will no doubt be seeing this year’s alumni on bigger stages very soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
