All this week we’re counting down to the biggest and best rock and metal festival on the planet by talking a look at the bands you can’t afford to miss.

And next up are Brit faves Bullet For My Valentine – one of the finest live bands around and the perfect fit for the Linkin Park warm-up spot! 

BAND: BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE

WHEN: Sunday June 12

WHERE: Main Stage

YOU KNOW THEM BECAUSE… BFMV are Britian’s best metal export since Iron Maiden and they share the ambition and songs to emulate the cream of the UK scene. Looking good, sounding good and behaving badly – this lot have the potential to go much further

GUARANTEED ANTHEM: Scream Aim Fire

TOILET BREAK: Fever (disappointing title track from otherwise belting album)

LOOK OUT FOR: Some of the best tattoos Download’s acts have to offer

ESSENTIAL ALBUM: Scream Aim Fire

OUT NOW: Fever

LIKE BFMV? YOU’LL LOVE: Bring Me The Horizon (Saturday), Hell (Sunday) Danzig (Friday), Baptized In Blood (Sunday)
