And so, the final day of Download 2014. And this time it’s overcast. The rain has not been hard but it’s definitely a lot cloudier than before – a welcome relief for many of the punters. Elliott and Ant give their opinions on this final day. For me the day …

One tall dude and his guitar is how I can briefly describe Jameson Burt, who is opening the night’s proceedings. Hailing from California, I can hear why Jameson was asked to join Rival Sons on tour. As I’m photographing during the first few songs I am focusing more on the …

Avenged Sevenfold brought the pyros. Linkin Park brought the classic album. And Aerosmith? They brought the film crew for a live recording that will hopefully surface as a live DVD in the near future. One thing is certain though – they filmed on the right night. Starting off with a …

My final interview of Download 2014 was with Epic and Seth from Crazy Town. I was incredibly tired from the weekend but, thanks to the guys being wicked, I was still able to have a great chat with them about reforming, their performance and what’s next for them.

I was lucky enough to speak to Thobbe and Chris from Sabaton after their set at Download about their last album, playing with fire and little furry creatures.
