“I’ve said it before, Download Festival audiences are the best,” remarked KISS singer-bassist Gene Simmons. “They are up for whatever is thrown at them. KISS is going to come fully prepared to rock their world in 2020 to say, ‘Thank You for always showing up for us’.”
Iron Maiden, meanwhile, are becoming regulars at the venue. “This will be our seventh time headlining at Donington Park,” said singer Bruce Dickinson. “It’s home turf and we all really enjoy playing this festival — the vibe from the crowd is always fantastic.”
