IRON MAIDEN Frontman To Broadcast Radio Show From U.K.'s DOWNLOAD Festival

May 8, 2007

IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson will broadcast his BBC 6 Music weekly radio program, aptly named "Rock Show", from the Download festival on Saturday, June 9. Listen to the show live via the Internet between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. (midnight) U.K. time (between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. EST) at BBC.co.uk.

IRON MAIDEN will headline the main stage at this year's Download festival on Sunday, June 10. The event, which takes place June 8-10 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, England, will feature additional appearances by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, VELVET REVOLVER, KORN, LINKIN PARK, MARILYN MANSON, MÖTLEY CRÜE and EVANESCENCE, among many others.

The Download festival is a three-day rock/metal/punk festival held annually at the spiritual home of rock music in England — Donington Park, which hosted the Monsters of Rock festivals between 1980 and 1996, and 2002's Ozzfest. It takes place in early summer, and is owned and managed by Live Nation.

Download festival 2006 — which featured headliners TOOL, METALLICA and GUNS N' ROSES — was said to be a huge success, with 75,000 visitors each day.
