Lord, Download’s going to be fun!
It’s hard not to be excited about Download Festival with Rammstein, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden headlining… but, there’s way more at Donington this year than just the music!
Shout out to Zippo for sponsoring the second stage at Download again this year – which will see the likes of All Time Low, Twin Atlantic, NOFX, Skindred, Jane’s Addiction and Billy Talent play – and also for putting on some killer activities to keep you busy in-between seeing said bands!
Wanna get involved? All you need to do is wander over to the Zippo Encore Arena, where you’ll be able to partake in air guitar competitions (check 10 Songs To Air Guitar To On The Zippo Stage here) and even win yourself tickets for unique side-of-stage experiences. Air guitaring not your thing? Then why not try your hand at designing your very own Zippo windproof lighter? The best ones win daily prizes! As if that wasn’t enough, there’s face painting (find out Why Face Paint Is So God Damn Metal for inspiration), merch giveaways, on-site lighter engraving (your mates will never be able to nick your lighter again) and the official Zippo store (stocking the limited edition Download Zippo, which you’re gonna want to buy before it sells out).
Phew! We’re excited just thinking about it…
