Download Festival To Rename Main Stage The LEMMY Stage
February 8, 2016, 8 years ago
"Whilst we’re saddened to say Motörhead will no longer be performing at this year’s Download Festival, we will honour a true rock ‘n’ roll icon who inspired so many others on the bill, Lemmy Kilmister," state the organizers. "For one year only, Download Festival’s Main Stage will be named ‘The Lemmy Stage’ in tribute to a much loved and missed legend. We are working with Motörhead’s management on a tribute to the great man during the slot he would have performed on, more information to follow."
Download is The UK's premier rock festival, running June 10th to 12th at Donnington Park; complete details can be found here.
In addition to headliners Rammstein, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden, a truckload of new bands have just been added to the festival including: Amon Amarth, Danko Jones, Deftones, Disturbed, Down, Ghost, Halestorm, Jane's Addiction, Killswitch Engage, Korn, Megadeth, Monster Truck, Municipal Waste, Nightwish, Saxon, Shinedown, Sixx: A.M., Tremonti, and many more.
