The final day of Download Festival 2024 is, judging by many comments online from attendees and those who wish they were going alike, “the most stacked” line up of any day on this years’ festival. Perhaps it is no coincidence that it was also the first part of the festival (RIP packages aside), to sell…
Download 2024 is go! Following in the footsteps of other European festivals like Rock AM Ring and Nova Rock over the last week or so, the Download Festival team have unleashed the bulk of the 2024 Line up in one huge announcement. For the first time since 2012, the Download Festival has two new headliners…
We hear the phrase “Art is Subjective” so often that it feels at times like it’s lost all meaning or relevance. Even more so when it comes to the age of social media and everyone being terminally online. Liking or not liking something simply isn’t enough anymore. Seems appropriate then that a band like Avenged…
Following on from the first part of our albums of the decade feature, where we counted down from 20 to 11, we are back for the conclusion! This time, we will count down the Rock Sins staff collective top ten albums of the decade, finishing off with our album of the decade! If you missed…

Once again, it was time for the annual pilgrimage to the hallowed turf of Donington Park for the Download Festival’s 2018 instalment. Team Rock Sins was once again out in force across the festival, meaning we were able to cover a huge amount of the 100+ bands on display over the weekend. As a result, we’ve…
As we’re now just 16 days away from the gates of the Download Festival 2018 campsite opening for the first time, it is of course time for Rock Sins to continue our build up for our annual pilgramage to Donington. Those of a wrestling persuasion among our readers may have already seen our NXT at…
They said it would never happen. Not in this lifetime they said. But not only are Guns N’Roses alive and well with 3/5ths of their iconic line up, and selling out stadiums the world over, they’re also the final headliners for the 2018 Download Festival. Axl, Duff and Slash will team up on the Donington…
We’ve got our second Download Festival 2018 headliners and as long suspected, it’s Avenged Sevenfold! Orange County’s finest are returning to the stage where they announced themselves as a festival headline calibre band in spectacular style four years ago when Download took a chance on them as new headliners in 2014. The sold out arena…
Overnight in the US, Linkin Park’s very, very special tribute concert in celebration of the life of their former frontman Chester Bennington has been taking place at The Hollywood Bowl in California. The show only finished about 45 minutes ago, and the full show is available to watch on Linkin Park’s YouTube channel. It’s an…
There aren’t many bands that know how to build hype better than Avenged Sevenfold. From projecting the Deathbat on to the side of major buildings, to releasing an album that they had managed to keep completely secret, they show time and again that they know how to put on a show. Seeing that they were embarking…
Two years ago, Slipknot and KoRn kicked off the big tours of 2015 with one of the great rock and metal arena tours of recent times.
