Download Festival

A three day download music festival held annually at Donington Park which is hosted by the Monsters of Rock Festivals between 1980 and 1996, and 2002's Ozzfest. It takes place in the finish of spring, and is holded and supervised by Live Nation. The 2009 edition will be held on June 12–14.

The first Download Festival was taken place 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.
