SOCIETY 1: Suspension Show Confirmed For U.K.'s DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL

May 25, 2005

SOCIETY 1 are preparing to make history yet again as frontman Matt "The Lord" Zane finalizes plans for his greatest suspension feat to date, to be performed live on Sunday, June 12 at the U.K.'s massive Download Festival.

At 11:50 a.m. on the final day of the festival, in front of tens of thousands of fans, Zane will be pierced with six meathooks and hoisted in the air, suspended only by the hooks in his flesh. He will then proceed to sing an entire set worth of songs with SOCIETY 1 — while suspended. Zane, who set a world record at L.A.'s Key Club in March 2004 by performing the first live suspension by a rock singer, will attempt to smash his previous record by remaining suspended for the duration of eight songs.

Zane's Download suspension marks his first European suspension show. With the massive Download audience on hand to witness this event, it will be the most-watched suspension in history.

Download, the U.K.'s premier metal festival, is held at the prestigious Donington Park racetrack, home of the Donington Monsters Of Rock festivals. This year's three-day event features more than 100 acts including such luminaries as BLACK SABBATH, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, VELVET REVOLVER, SLIPKNOT, and SLAYER.
