If rock and metal are a religious experience – as we all believe – then Donington is our Mecca, our Jerusalem, our cathedral, our… well, you get the point. This is our home. The first place anyone thinks about whenever the subject of iconic locations and venues is raised.

"When people think about rock festivals, Donington is one of the first places they think of, if not the first," says Download Promoter Andy Copping. And he talks from a vast experience, not only of being involved so closely with Download, but from going to its predecessor The Monsters Of Rock Festival in the 1980s – actually, he was there at the very first one. In 1980.
