Sure, I’ve been out, so this is a tad late, you’ve already heard it I’m sure…but if you hadn’t you’d best strap yourself in… Downloads gone full on Prog Metal Headliner!!!

I’ve been saying it for years, as more of a wish than an expectancy but Download have heard our call and have announced that TOOL, yes TOOL! will be headlining 2019’s Sunday night at Download…WOOP!

I foresee a record sale for this years festival as Friday see’s us having a good nostalgic sing-along to Def Leppard doing their Hysteria album in full whilst Saturday night’s Slipknot headliner bridges the gap from young to old metal heads. As well as all that, they’ve also dropped these: Opeth, Slash, Die Antwoord, Whitesnake, Rob Zombie, Trivium, Amon Amarth, Carcass, Delain, Me First and the Gimme Gimme’s, Power Trip, Reel Big Fish, Skindred, Starset, Tesla, The Amity Affliction and Underoath.

…they’ve covered all bases!
