Download organisers are encouraging rockers and metal heads to pitch up in their back gardens, get out the air guitar and pop up their flags as the festival moves online for the first time ever.
The rock three-dayer is coming to living rooms via Download’s social channels (including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube) for one weekend only, across June 12-14.
Not wanting to miss out on the best weekend in rock, Download TV will have three daily shows of 2-3 hours’ worth of music, special interviews, unseen performances and exclusive footage.
The shows will be broadcast across the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, in the hope of recreating the weekend from the safety of your own homes. Full line-up will be announced soon and will very much be focused on broadcasting performances and discussions from the talent who were due to play Download Festival 2020.
Download organisers recently released of a limited-edition charity t-shirt, which has already raised an incredible £100,000 for NHS Charities Together.
Those tuning into Download TV will be encouraged to voluntarily donate to the same charity over the weekend.
A spokesman said: "[We] would like to remind everyone to stay safe, stay home and save lives - practice safe social distancing and only host Download TV tent parties within your own household groups, do not encourage group gatherings."
