Download Vs. Sonisphere
This summer sees two titans of the British rock and metal festival scene fight it out.
Download, the UK’s first ever metal festival, sees competition from new UK rock/metal fest Sonisphere. Download have just announced another 30 bands to their line-up to sit alongside headliners AC/DC, Rage Against The Machine and Aerosmith. Surely the most exciting addition, however, is Slash whose new eponymous album was released just two weeks ago to great acclaim. Download takes place over the second weekend in June (11th-13th) at Donnington Park.
Meanwhile, Sonisphere stake their claim to the rock crown at Knebworth on the last weekend on July (30th of July to August 1st). Headliners at this event include an exclusive performance from Rammstein and British rock stalwarts Iron Maiden.
