Meanwhile, Download boss Andy Copping revealed last week that a “big band” will perform a surprise set at this year’s edition of the festival.
Copping recently hosted an hour-long show on Planet Rock called Andy Copping’s Secrets of Download during the bank holiday (May 27), where he revealed that fans should look out for a secret set this year.
“One thing’s for sure, you’ve got to keep your eyes and ears peeled for this year at Download because, yes, we have another band coming in doing a secret set. Something very, very special. Big band. So look out for that.”
The time and location of the secret set has not yet been confirmed, but fans have spotted a notable gap on the Dogtooth Stage on Saturday between Dying Fetus and Fear Factory, leading to suggestions that the secret band could play an intimate set there.
In other news, Download Festival attendees have been issued new advice ahead of this year’s event to avoid a repeat of the “unprecedented” congestion that took place last year.
