With this year’s Download Festival being cancelled due to coronavirus outbreak, festival organizers have now announce Download TV, a virtual festival that’ll take place over the same weekend in June the original festival was scheduled for.
Download festival issued the following statement: “Downloaders, we’ve got some awesome news for you.
“Now, of course we didn’t want to miss out on the biggest weekend in rock. That’s why we’re bringing a VIRTUAL FESTIVAL direct to your living rooms, for one weekend only!
“That’s right: Download Festival TV will take place via our YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram channels, on 12th-14th June.
So pitch your tent, erect your flags, put up your horns and get ready to mosh (at a socially responsible distance, of course)!
“We’ll have three daily shows with a mix of music, special interviews, unseen performances, exclusive footage, interactive content and loads more. The shows will be broadcast across the Friday, Saturday and Sunday – recreating the best weekend of the summer in the safety and comfort of your own home!
