Another month has passed and so have so many more festivals. We had a great time at this years Download Festival; sun and so many bands! Head of Reviews Lizi gives us her run down of some of the highlights in Alt Corner’s Festival Awards for Download.

Best band performanceMotionless in White totally owned the main stage and had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands.

Best crowd reactionAerosmith was just one big sing a long.

The band that surprised you the mostAaron Buchanan and the Cult Classics. Stumbled upon them by chance and was very impressed with the showmanship and music.

Standout performanceJunior. Incredible pop punk set with added bonuses. Where else would you get a giant limbo competition mid set which also features professional wrestlers (and a teaser for the NXT UK championship match later that night?)

Most underrated band at the festival. – Like A Storm. Forever a consistently great live band with a unique sound.

The band people should get excited about.Like A Storm – for the above reasons and just the fact that they are something different and bring a fresh take on metal

Most memorable moment – tie between Aaron Buchanan chucking free beer into the crowd and the wrestling input during Junior’s set.

Special recognition; this can be anything about the festival that you thing deserves recognition. A band/a moment/anything. – THE SUN! YOU CAN GET SUN AND DRY PERIODS AT DOWNLOAD!!
