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, a company owned by Clear Channel Communications.
