Ask anyone who has witnessed Benji and the boys in action, there is absolutely no chance of shoe-gazing at this gig. Closing the performance with the simply awesome Newport Helicopter if you've not yet heard of it, where have you been?? Surely a pretty lofty main stage slot beckons for these fellas next year?

Perhaps swapping the Steel Panther and Tenacious D slots around may have worked better? I'm not sure such a high slot on the bill is right for a comedy act that has only 3 songs that everyone knows.

Despite this personal niggle, the D still deliver a top show. There was always going to be a fair amount of people hating the fact Biffy Clyro were billed as a sub-headliner at Download. Not to mention they were booked to support the biggest metal band in the world.

Those yet to experience the tidal wave of sound that Biffy create at their live shows take heed. Bringing with them a stunning stage set-up, the trio entertain an enthusiastic crowd with tracks from throughout their back catalogue. Mon the Biff! A dusky, drunken Download arena prepares itself for the big finale of the day.

The arrival of metal's grandaddies. The pioneers of thrash. Metallica deliver their 'Black Album' in reverse and to hear tracks such as 'The Struggle Within,' 'My Friend Of Misery,' and 'The God That Failed' live in all their glory is a real treat, despite not being the ideal tracks you want to hear at a 'tallica gig.
