Sunday at Download Festival 2022 – Kerrang! Radio roundup

Following the scintillating highs of yesterday, including Iron Maiden’s typically epic headline set, Day 3 at Download Festival opened with blue skies yet again and another epic line-up.

Wargasm were first up on The Apex Stage and they blew away any of the audience's lingering cobwebs with their riotous electro-punk sounds.

Flanked by their trademark giant inflatable yellow duck, Scottish pirate metallers Alestorm drew a huge Sunday afternoon crowd on The Apex Stage:

"When I say keema, you say naan!" shouted Baz Mills as the mighty Massive Wagons performed a barnstorming set on The Opus Stage.

The Steel Panther fans were out in force ahead of the band's headline slot on The Opus Stage:

Bimini wore a fetching Princess Diana dress on The Dogtooth Stage for their first ever festival performance. The set included covers of The Prodigy's 'Breathe', Britney Spears' 'Toxic' and Girls Aloud's 'No Good Advice'. Eclectic.

Playing their first ever UK show, Canada's Spiritbox destroyed a packed The Avalanche Stage hosted by Kerrang! Radio with their electro-tinged heavy metal carnage. Singer Courtney LaPlante flaunted truly jaw-dropping vocal gymnastics:

Easily one of the loudest Apex Stage bands of the entire weekend, Korn bombarded the audience with an onslaught of hits including 'Falling Away From Me', 'Freak on a Leash' and a bagpipe-tastic 'Shoots and Ladders.'

Boasting a mightily impressive multi-tiered stage setup, Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro played an anthem packed headline set that, final song aside, got satisfyingly heavier as it progressed.

The 20-song set culminated with a lighters-in-the-air rendition of ‘Many of Horror’ alongside the trademark Download Festival fireworks finale!

Roll on Download Festival 2023!
