THE DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL AT DONINGTON PARK has just got even bigger with the announcement that the majority of performances from the Main Stage are to be streamed LIVE on www.downloadfestival.co.uk throughout the weekend of 12-14 JUNE. Following on from 2007’s hugely successful live web stream of the festival, including Iron Maiden’s epic main stage performance, this free broadcast means a global audience will be able to enjoy a selection of the incredible performances coming live from this year’s Download Main Stage. In addition to the live performances there will also be exclusive behind the scenes news reports coming live from our reporters Rhodri Thomas and Katie P. Highlights will also be broadcast on VH1 Classic and MTV Palladia as well as a special episode of ’That Metal Show’, the rock talk-show hosted by Eddie Trunk with co-hosts Jim Florentine and Don Jamieson
Download Festival 2008 Music TV Presenter Competition winner Rhodri Thomas has teamed up with Katie P from Kerrang! Magazine to host ‘The Lowdown’ – a regular feature on the Download website that has seen interviews and messages from bands such as Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Killswitch Engage, The Answer, Trivium, The Blackout, DragonForce, DevilDriver, Duff McKagan, Fightstar and more. This will be updated throughout the weekend so fans of the festival who can’t attend can still keep their fingers on the pulse on all that’s going down at Download!
Those planning to attend this year’s festival (and even those who aren’t!) can keep in touch with the latest Download news by following Download on Twitter or by visiting John’s Blog and Andy’s Blog on the Download forums, to get updates straight from the horse’s (in this case, the Festival Director and Festival Promoter) mouth.

We are creating a continuous 24 hour stream that will begin on Friday and run through the weekend until Sunday Night, providing fans in all time zones the ability to tune in and enjoy some of the Download experience.”
