STAIND: Interview, Performance Footage From U.K.'s DOWNLOAD Festival Posted Online
June 12, 2009Vocalist Aaron Lewis and guitarist Mike Mushok of Massachusetts rockers STAIND were interviewed earlier today at the Download festival, which is being held June 12-14 at Donington Park, United Kingdom. Watch the chat below. Also available is video footage of the band's performance at the event.
STAIND, SHINEDOWN, CHEVELLE and HALESTORM will be teaming up this summer for the "Stimulate This!" tour, a four-band bill designed to offer fans maximum value at a minimal price.
Making its way across the U.S. beginning July 1 and extending through early September, the "Stimulate This!" tour will hit more than 40 U.S. markets, including some of the hardest hit by the recession. In a show of solidarity for their fans, the four bands have worked closely with the concert promoters to create a package of exceptional value for ticket buyers. Through their collective efforts, they've been able to maintain modest base ticket prices that remain mostly under $40 each — half the cost of comparable multi-band summer tour packages — with some venues offering lawn seats for less than $10. Additionally, each tour stop will include special promotions for ticket holders that will vary from market to market, but could include discounts on concessions at the venue during the show, store discounts at local retailers, and online rebates for band merchandise to name a few.
"Wall Street got its bailout; now it's time for rock fans to get theirs," said STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis. "This summer, we want to give our fans one night where they can forget about everything else and experience a great rock show."
