The festival announcement pendulum has swung back in the direction of the Download Festival 2014 as Andy Copping and his team have confirmed another dozen and a half (that’s eighteen in layman’s terms) bands to appear across the weekend this coming June. Top of the pile this time around are UK rock favourites The Wildhearts,…
When the most recent Download Festival announcement was made yesterday (viewable here), one name was conspicuous by their absence from the line up and the poster, Swedish metal favourites In Flames, who were previously confirmed to play the event some months ago. Yesterday evening In Flames put out the following brief message on their social…
A couple of weeks ago, just after the most recent Download Festival line up announcement where another twenty three bands were added to the festival (read that here if you missed it), Rock Sins were very pleased to be able to catch up with the mastermind behind all the goings on at Donington, Live Nation’s…
Less than a fortnight after granting us fifteen new bands including Bowling For Soup, Opeth and Black Label Society, Andy Copping and the team at Download HQ have done it again.

The powers that be at Live Nation and Download Festival HQ have spoken once again and another fifteen bands of all shapes, sizes and genres have been added to the rock and metal cavalcade that is the Download Festival 2014!

The BIG news in this…
As far as bits of festival news go, this is among the very best. It all started as a trolling comment about Avenged Sevenfold being picked to headline the 2014 Download Festival. The nice people over at Metal Hammer compiled a list of the most hilarious and idiotic responses to Avenged’s announcement as Download headliners…
Donington Park will be rocking and rolling to the sounds of good old Bostonian blues rock next June as classic rock legends Aerosmith are confirmed as the final headliners for the Download Festival 2014! Having released their first original album in more than a decade last year in the shape of “Music From Another Dimension”,…
They returned to Save Rock & Roll. And whilst we wouldn’t say they’ve quite gone that far (or indeed, that it needed saving), Fall Out Boy have done a pretty good job of putting smiles on people’s faces since they returned at the beginning of 2013. Now they’ll have the chance to put smiles on…
