This is the closest thing to a splash page you’ll ever get on Thrash Hits. Every last bit of our Download Festival 2009 coverage from the weekend will be linked to from here so give it a bookmark or just don’t close it, because it’s all you’ll need. Individual band coverage (interviews, photos, setlists and some tiny reviews), rumours and gossip, drinking games, stage times, dodgy photos of fat, hairy metallers lying face down in a puddle of someone else’s sick? It’s all here. —–
All of the best rumours and gossip from Donington will be updated throughout the weekend and we’re sure we’ll pick up some juicy nuggets for you. One of the big questions we’re asking you is: Is this the ultimate Download Festival drinking game? Spot The Over-Dressed Festival Goth! You can get the stage times and stuff here. Although, if you’re on a computer and not at the festival, I don’t know why you’d possibly want them.

As ever with festivals, no amount of planning can prepare you for some things.
On Friday, the whole Thrash Hits website was offline due to technical difficulties which pissed us all off quite a lot.
There were also some significant problems with the media infrastructure backstage at Download Festival which resulted in our star photographer Gar Wolstenholme’s laptop getting fried.
This all means that the Download Festival coverage has been shitty so far. We’ll get loads up next week though.
