LINKIN PARK<\/strong> ARE PLAYING ‘HYBRID THEORY’<\/em>! What more do we have to say? It\u2019s a modern day classic and It sold over 10 million copies. This will be the first time the band have played the record in full, and as the US rockers make their Download<\/strong> return after 3 years, we guarantee their set is one you don\u2019t want to miss. Expect mammoth singsongs as thousands try and outdo the sheer brilliance of Chester Bennington\u2019s vocals.

Go on say it, \u201coh look Already Heard is telling me to go and see Marmozets\u2026again!\u201d Well yeah we are, but with good reason. Over the last 2 years, their live show has got better and better, and if their recent singles are anything to go by, then their forthcoming debut full-length is going to be fucking huge! They\u2019re going to be heading to the States next month (jumping on the Vans Warped Tour), so go and give them an awesome send off as they\u2019ll leave you stunned and wanting more and more.

<\/p>\n
As we desperately continue to wait for a UK tour, Laura Jane Grace and company will be gracing Download with a short yet effective set that is sure to be filled with honest, raucous punk rock that is straight from the heart. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be joining us in the \u201cwe want a UK tour\u201d brigade straight after their 30 minute set.

After \u201ckilling it\u201d on the Pepsi Max Stage last year, the Southampton metalcore five-piece have been stepped up to the main stage this year. With new album\u00a0‘Runes’<\/em> containing monstrous riffs with choruses to match, Bury Tomorrow<\/strong> will be a main stage highlight of the weekend. (SR)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tumblr_inline_n6yutcvRTF1qztcot.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
SiKth<\/strong> are back! After calling it quits 6 years ago, the Watford band make their return at Download and if the band’s past record is anything to go by, it\u2019s going to be a memorable set. Expect a chaotic show with everything from metalcore to math rock and more. (SR)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tumblr_inline_n6yuu4THUn1qztcot.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve yet to see Nottingham\u2019s Baby Godzilla<\/strong> then be ready to have your mind fucking blown! If their reputation is anything to go by, expect to literally be carrying the band from the opening frantic moments of their intimate set on the Red Bull Studio Stage. And it\u2019ll probably end with the band having to buy new instruments (again), as Baby Godzilla<\/strong> are sure to slay Download 2014.

<\/p>\n
The Michigan six-piece make their return to the UK for an appearance on the Zippo Encore stage, and they\u2019ll be bringing their brand of electro-infused metalcore with them. Last years ‘Tracing Back Roots’<\/em> landed at number 8 on the Billboard 200, and for a damn good reason as tracks like ‘Fade Away’<\/em> and ‘I Survive’<\/em> are heavy, pulsating yet have a melodic edge that will sure to get the crowd going on Sunday.

<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s admit it, Aerosmith<\/strong> are American rock legends, and they\u2019ve got the songs to back it up. So with that being said, go and see Steven Tyler wail his way through songs such as ‘Cryin\u201d<\/em>, ‘Dream On’<\/em>, ‘Dude (Looks Like a Lady)’<\/em>, ‘Livin’ On The Edge’<\/em> and countless others. Their back catalogue is made for stages like Download, so don\u2019t miss out.

It doesn\u2019t seem five minutes since these pop-rock\/punk legends were gracing us with their presence on this side of the Atlantic, but nevertheless Patrick, Pete, Joe and Andy are back in the UK. And they\u2019re making the Saturday main stage line-up even more awesome. Sure they\u2019re not the most \u201cmetal\u201d of bands but dammit Fall Out Boy<\/strong> deliver an awesome show that is sure to be one of the many highlights of the weekend.

\nI first had the pleasure of catching Royal Blood<\/b> in a modest loft space mid-2013. Even then it was clear that the rich cacophony of rock majesty this two piece were demonstrating was not meant to be kept to such modest confines for much longer. A year on, it’s a sheer no brainer that Royal Blood<\/b> are a must see at this year’s Download Festival. Why? Not only because its one of an impressive slew of festival appearances which sees their powerful live show finally gaining its rightful platform, but because they’re swift becoming a zeitgeist of modern British rock. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tumblr_inline_n6yv7f1YBH1qztcot.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
\nFollowing the departure of vocalist Howard Jones and the reinstatement of original vocalist Jesse David Leach, stalwart Massachusetts metallers Killswitch Engage<\/b> seem to be reinvigorated since the change of staff. Returning last year with barnstorming ‘Disarm The Descent’<\/i> and a series of scorching live shows, Killswitch will be grasping this mid-afternoon main stage slot as an opportunity to prove their rightful place at the very forefront of modern metal. The singalongs will be unmissable. (OC)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tumblr_inline_n6yv7sEQyD1qztcot.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
\nFollowing on from the jaw-dropping ‘There Is A Hell, Believe Me I’ve Seen It, There Is A Heaven, Let’s Keep It A Secret’<\/i> was no easy task, but last year’s ‘Sempiternal’<\/i> seems to have garnered them an even bigger audience. The Steel City lads have blossomed into not only a tour de force within metal, but also a genuine breakthrough crossover act into the mainstream – not something anyone thought they’d become in the days of ‘Count Your Blessings’<\/i>. This may be your last chance to catch an “I was there when…” BMTH slot, as it surely can’t be long before they’re troubling even higher echelons of the Download lineup.

<\/p>\n
\nUS metallers Fozzy<\/b> have enjoyed near cult favourite status at every one of their previous Donnington visits, attracting huge crowds to various side stages. This year sees the long overdue debut of The Fozz on the main stage. Expect vast seas of pumping fists, huge metal anthems and a faultless live show.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/tumblr_inline_n6yv5uexP71qztcot.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
\nLove them or hate them, you know all eyes will be on The Pretty Reckless<\/b> on Sunday evening. More specifically, all eyes will be on frontwoman Taylor Momsen. The bands latest album, ‘Going to Hell’<\/i> received plenty of attention from the tabloids, but not for it’s music (Momsen appeared naked in the CD sleeve inlay.) Momsen is the hard rock equivalent of Miley Cyrus but does have talent. Throughout ‘Going to Hell’<\/i>, her sultry voice soars against dominating riffs that will fit right at home at Download.

\nIt’s been a rough few years for the Minneapolis industrial metal band, most notably the death of guitarist Bryan Ottoson in 2007 and a 2 year hiatus staring in 2009. Nevertheless American Head Charge<\/b> are back and with work underway on their 3rd album, we expect the sextet to give us a preview of the new LP at Download, as well reminding us how great their mighty 2001 record ‘The War of Art’<\/i> was. A certified heavy dose of nostalgia. (SR)<\/p>\n
