Aloha, Ahoy
Hoist the colours ladies and gents, it's that time of year again, the galleon ships are mooring up from their journey across the planet's oceans to bring you R O C K.
Download Festival may have outdone itself this year. One things for sure, your face will be melted off this June by the incredible lineup of bands taking to the stages at Donington Park.

From the ultimate hall of fame Rock Gods Maiden, Sabbath and Megadeth to the damn right awesome Korn and NOFX, to Nightwish, Billy Talent & there's even Alien Ant Farm!
Obviously I wish my favourite nine were making an appearance but that just means I'll have to attend a certain other festival in California later this year!
There really is something for every rock and metal muso in 2016 at Download.

As it has become tradition on the old blog space, one totally worth upholding,I will be sharing the first of my official Download playlists to get you in the mood for some serious rock over the ten days leading up to the fest.
There are so many awesome bands lining up to plug in and rock out, that it's been almost impossible to put this first playlist together!
As is tradition, we will start with the top five.

So friends before we don our best rocking boots and descend with the thousands before the stage of dreams, let us take a look at some of the most rocking Download sets of yesteryear...

(Yes of course I'm going to start with the nine. I mean you've heard that sound right? it's bloody awesome & Corey well what can I say that is one neck & one set of vocal chords.)

Keep a weather eye on that horizon, we're heading on course straight for festival season & Downloads going to be one hell of a lot of awesome.
Joining the many? Which bands are you excited to see?
Not able to make Download, don't worry you'll be able to keep up with all the action live.

Don't fret my little pickles because there's more DOWNLOAD to come.
In the meantime, continuing with tradition (who'd have thought it eh, me and tradition in the same room?) I've been checking out some gigs and new blood for the blog.
I'm booking some features in with these fresh treasures over the coming weeks...
From Brighton... It's fast, it's heavy, it's SO good.
Southampton & Portsmouth local boys proving punk rocks not dead...
You better be ready for these boys from Reading, banging tunes all served in your favourite rock cocktail...
A band closer to home raising all the nostalgia of teen gigs, Birmingham lads showing music still has some bite...
Because I want something for all of you, All the way from Sweden... ready to make you dance...
Pop back, tune in and rock out to more music soon...
