As the road to the Download Festival<\/b> becomes shorter by the day, we will be speaking to a whole host of acts from this years festival about what to expect from them at Download<\/b> 2015.<\/i><\/p>\n

It’s been four years since Welsh post-hardcore legends Funeral For A Friend<\/b> graced Download<\/b> with their presence . Last time round they were on the second stage but for 2015, they’re back on the main stage and playing alongside some impressive names; Muse, Faith No More, A Day To Remember, Rise Against and Parkway Drive. The Saturday main stage has plenty to offer and with FFAF<\/b> on second, they’re bound to please fans with a set full of fan favourites.<\/p>\n

As they prepare to return to Donington Park, we spoke to bassist Richard Boucher to get his thoughts on this years Download Festival<\/b>.<\/p>\n

AH: Why should fans check you out at Download?<\/b>
Richard: Cause we’ll be keeping it real.<\/i><\/p>\n

AH: What can we expect from your set?<\/b>
Richard: A mix of our big classics!<\/i><\/p>\n

AH: What other bands are you looking forward to seeing?<\/b>
Richard: Faith No More and Rise Against.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

AH: What are your memories of previous Download Festivals?<\/b>
Richard: We headlined the Pepsi Max stage a few years ago and it was great. Myself and our guitarist Gav stayed for the rest of the weekend and our tales cannot be told.<\/i><\/p>\n

AH: What advice would you give to people attending Download Festival?<\/b>
Richard: Stay safe. <\/i><\/p>\n

AH: Do you have anything else you\u2019d like to say?<\/b>
Richard: Yeah. I like bass I do. <\/i><\/p>\n

Funeral For A Friend<\/b> will be appearing on the main stage at 11:50am on Saturday June 13th.<\/p>\n
