The Download Festival
is a three day music download festival held annually at Donington Park, England (which hosted the [Lan Wars between 1980 and 1996, and 2002's Lagfest). It takes place at the end of spring, and is owned and managed by The Internet.

History
The Download Festival was conceived as a follow up to the
Monsters of Rock festivals which had been held in at the
Donington Park circuit between 1980 and 1996. Rather than run as a single day event Download was initially a 2 day event (expanding to 3 days in 2005).
The name
Download
was chosen for the festival for two reasons. Downloading was a dirty word in the music industry at the time, due to file sharing, and rock is seen as a rebelleous genre of music. The organisers faced pressure from the rest of the industry, with some even claiming that the Download Festival would "destroy the music industry"! Also Download was to be a Monsters Of Rock for the 21st Century and the internet would provide connectivity with its audience.
The 2003 festival tickets had a code on them, which would allow festival goers to download tracks from bands which had played. Although this idea has been dropped in subsequent years, the festival organisers have nurtured an online community through the . Initially a sounding board for the fans (and critics) of the festival, the boards have become an integral part of the festival organisation with regular contributions from Festival Director John Probyn and Promotor Andy Copping. The forums also provide face to face feedback through the Fan Forum meetings (started in 2006) and organise the Boardie BBQ (2006 on) and the Boardie Takeover night (2009), football tournaments and a pub quiz for the R.I.P. campers who arrive on a Wednesday night.
When Download began, it took place on the
Donington Park circuit infield as had Monsters Of Rock. However in 2008 developments for
Formula One meant that the infield was no longer suitable as a festival site. 2008 saw a move to the "Sunday Markets" site to the west of the circuit. Although adequate, numbers were limited and the location of the campsite meant that getting from your tent to the arena was quite a hike. 2009 saw the festival move to a much more suitable (and popular) location to the south of the circuit, although this too is quite a hike from the camping area.
Download 2003
The first Download Festival was held in 2003. The headliners were originally
Iron Maiden and
Limp Bizkit, although Limp Bizkit pulled out and were replaced by
Audioslave.
Metallica attempted to step in as headliners, but were unable due to already being headliners at that year's
Reading and Leeds Festivals. Instead, they played an unannounced "secret slot" in the afternoon on the second stage, with no sound check and after playing an exclusive club show in London the night before.

Download 2004
In 2004, another stage was added to the festival, bringing the total to three. Seventy-two bands played over the two days. The 2004 event was also noticeable for several last minute hitches. First,
Soil got lost on the way to Donington and missed their main stage appearance on Saturday (they later joined
Drowning Pool on stage to perform Drowning Pool's "Bodies" and their own song "Halo").
Static-X missed their slot due to a bus breakdown. On Sunday,
Slayer arrived on time, but their equipment did not, leading to a slot change from the middle of the afternoon on the main stage to a later slot (and longer set) on the second stage. Slayer were replaced on the main stage by
Damageplan, who were scheduled to play the second stage. Their setlist ended with a rendition of Damageplan founders
Vinnie Paul and
Dimebag Darrell's most recognisable song from
Pantera, "Walk."
The biggest news came from the headliners
Metallica, however, when
Lars Ulrich was rushed to hospital.
[1] Taking to the stage an hour and a half late,
James Hetfield explained the situation with Lars and the show began with Slayer drummer
Dave Lombardo playing on "Battery" and "The Four Horsemen."
Slipknot's
Joey Jordison played the rest of the set apart from
Fade to Black which was played by Metallica's drum technician, Flemming Larsen. The set featured no post-
"Black Album" songs and was about an hour and ten minutes long: short for a headliner. The set is considered one of the band's most memorable performances.

Scotland
In June 2004 a two day Download Festival was held on
Glasgow Green, several days before the Donington event. This had a limited line up with only nine bands performing over a two day period. However, the bands which did play were similar to those appearing at Donington including the headliners,
Metallica and
Linkin Park. Download Scotland also saw an appearance from the
Welsh rock band
Lostprophets who were unique to the event and did not perform at Donington.
Acts which also appeared over the two days at Download Scotland were
Korn,
Slipknot,
Iggy and
The Stooges,
Machine Head,
The Distillers and
HIM.
The running order went as follows:

2005 was held again at Donington Park, on
10-
12 June 2005. This festival was different from previous years as the Saturday was officially dubbed
Ozzfest 2005, as well as an "
Indie day" on the first day of the festival.
Billy Idol performed on the Snickers stage on the Friday night; his first UK gig after a lengthy hiatus, performing songs such as
White Wedding,
Rebel Yell and a cover version of
Van Halen's anthem,
Jump.
Feeder's frontman
Grant Nicholas was so relieved the band won the crowd over (there were concerns that they would be received badly by the traditional attendee to the festival), he decided to smash his green
Fender Jazzmaster guitar after "Descend" was performed. He later said that he regretted it, but also said he kept the neck and the tremeloes, and might use what was left to make a new guitar. A part of the body was thrown to a member of the crowd.
Lemmy also took to the stage, with former
MC5 members, and
Gilby Clarke, to perform
Back in the USA.
Sleaze metal band
Crashdiet played their first and so far only show in the UK on the
Napster Stage.
Initially,
Bert McCracken of
The Used and
Gerard Way of
My Chemical Romance were asked to perform their cover of
Under Pressure by
Queen and
David Bowie, but the former friends refused the offer to perform the cover as they had recently fallen out.

Download 2006
thumb
The 2006 Download Festival was held at Donington Park, England on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of June. Download 2006 boasted the largest selling acts out of all the UK music festivals that year (in terms of the combined total of every act). The three days comprising the headlining acts (
Tool,
Metallica and
Guns N' Roses) have sales of approximately 200-250 million albums between them, more than the entire line up of 2006's
V Festival.
2006 was the first time the festival was mirrored in the Republic of Ireland, as
Download Festival Ireland.
One memorable moment of the festival was the announcement that
Korn vocalist
Jonathan Davis had been rushed to hospital. Similar to 2004's Metallica set,
Munky,
Fieldy and
David Silveria arrived and explained to the fans why Jonathan couldn't make it and played with guest vocalists
Corey Taylor from
Slipknot,
Dez Fafara from
DevilDriver,
Jesse Hasek from
10 Years,
Benji Webbe from
Skindred,
M. Shadows from
Avenged Sevenfold, and
Matt Heafy from Trivium. Lyrics from the song "Blind" were displayed on the screen because Matt Heafy could not remember all the words. Another talking point of the festival was Metallica playing the album
Master of Puppets in its entirety in honour of its twentieth anniversary. Guns N' Roses also performed material from the long forthcoming
Chinese Democracy
album which was received quite well by the crowd.
Main Stage
The main stage was situated in the centre of the arena with crowd control moving around it, and was the largest of all three stages, the safety barriers used at this stage were in a T shape so as to avoid crowd crush in the middle. The stage was open-air and named in honour of the 25th anniversary of
Kerrang!
magazine.

Controversy
On the Saturday, Main Stage act
Korn lost lead singer
Jonathan Davis after he was hospitalised over concerns for bruises on his body. After observation, it was discovered that Davis had contracted a rare blood disease and could not perform at the event. Several different acts contributed singers to fill in for Davis, who each appeared with the rest of the band for a shorter set.
[7]
In addition to high temperatures and long queues for water, throughout most of the festival,
bottles were thrown around the crowd, mostly in a harmless manner. However, during the Sunday headline set of Guns N' Roses, one or more bottles landed on the stage. This caused problems after the band's lead singer,
Axl Rose, slipped on the wet surface and a bottle hit bassist
Tommy Stinson. Stinson threw his bass, accidentally hitting one of the cameramen, and left the stage. He returned after the song and apologized, but warned the crowd that if this activity continued, he would leave for good. There were some disturbances but they eventually died down, and later in the set Rose commented "I'm actually having quite a good time now! I couldn't have said that an hour ago!"
[8]
On the final night, fires were started by some festival goers and police were called, arresting twelve people.
[9]. At around 4am, the fire brigade arrived to put out a large fire at the gold campsite. A number of people had taken the railings that had been used to separate the campsite area from the path and used them to barricade the road to prevent the fire engines from reaching the main fire. At this point a number of police assembled in riot gear, and proceeded to stop the troublemakers. The festival director, Stuart Galbraith, posted a message on the official website stating that "About 150 people spoiled the end of what had been a great weekend for over 75,000 of us."

The 2007 Download Festival took place on June 8-10 2007.
[11]
The three bands that headlined the 2007 festival were My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park and Iron Maiden. My Chemical Romance's announcement as headliners caused much disappointment with fans looking forward to a heavier lineup.
Through February, March and the beginning of April, more bands were announced in small groups of five or six,
[12] and on 17 April this lineup was arranged into days and stages on the official website.
[13] A further announcement of fifteen bands on 24 April added to this lineup, and announced the names of the second and third stages - The
Dimebag Darrell Stage, and The Tuborg Stage.
[14]
Korn's Jonathan Davis stated that the reason for the band returning this year, was because of his absence due to illness last year. He states on the official Download Festival website, "I am so looking forward to coming to the Download Festival this year. I was heartbroken to pull out last time. So this time I am very happy to be coming back and we promise to rock the place! I will definitely make-up for missing the last one. You can expect an amazing Korn show!"
[15]
Download 2007 was Dimmu Borgir's first ever festival appearance in England.
Hardcore Superstar pulled out of their slot on the Tuborg stage on the Sunday because their tour bus broke down in Germany.
Download 2007 also featured the first band to officially perform on the Thursday of the festival. Scumface played on the Tuborg Stage during the boardie barbecue.

Download 2008
The 2008 Download festival took place on June 13 - June 15. The 2008 festival had a significantly different layout to that of the previous years in that the festival arena area was situated in land to the west of the race track instead of the traditional venue of the race track infield area. Notable amongst numerous changes is that the Tuborg stage became larger and moved from a marquee to an open-air format, located on a tarmac car park.
[18] Chris Cornell was originally scheduled to play the festival, but he cancelled his European tour so he could focus on a new album.
Twin Method, and
Finger Eleven were announced to play but were removed from the official websites lineup. On the Friday of the festival,
Kid Rock was meant to appear between
Seether and
Disturbed on the Main Stage but pulled out at the last minute. At first it was announced that this was due to illness, but it was later revealed he left the festival grounds after becoming dissatisfied with the amenities.
[19] This allowed the two bands,
Disturbed and
Judas Priest, to have longer sets.
The 2008 Boardie BBQ took place on the Gibson stage on Thursday June 12 and included a performance by
Forever Never.

Gravesend-based band
After The Ordeal. This set was the first ever 'virtual gig', with the band playing live from their bedroom and this footage being streamed live onto the Main Stage at Download Festival, between
Pendulum and
Marilyn Manson.
There has been many complaints and rumours concerning the state and condition of
Marilyn Manson during his set, which included him starting late, finishing early, replacing many lyrics by repeating "etcetera", throwing his microphones and bottles of water, and going behind stage equipment and taking tanks of oxygen through a mask during songs.
The winners of the "
Tuborg Battle of the bands" was
Leeds punk band
Acid Drop and they opened the
Tuborg stage on Saturday 13 June.
The Ghost of a Thousand were scheduled to headline the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage on Saturday but the band cancelled.
The Blackout stepped in to play their slot, thus giving The Blackout two slots on the festival's bill.
