Eddfest Review
Join us as we review EddFest 2026, Iron Maiden's epic 50th anniversary celebration at Knebworth. We break down Iron Maiden's headline performance, supporting sets from The Darkness and Blaze Bayley, plus our thoughts on the Infinite Dreams museum, themed attractions, the overall festival atmosphere, and how the event delivered as a one-of-a-kind celebration of Maiden's legacy. Was EddFest a triumph worthy of becoming a regular festival? Tune in as we discuss the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Download Festival 2026 - Sunday bands
This episode we discuss every band playing on the Sunday at Download Festival 2026. Sunday at Download Festival 2026 is shaping up to be one of the festival’s strongest days for modern rock and metal, headlined by Linkin Park, whose set is expected to combine classic nu-metal favourites with newer material from the band’s current era featuring Emily Armstrong. Other standout acts include Bad Omens, known for blending metalcore with huge melodic hooks and atmospheric production; Ice Nine Kills, famous for their theatrical horror-inspired live shows; The Pretty Reckless, bringing a more classic hard rock sound led by Taylor Momsen’s vocals; Kublai Khan TX, delivering some of the heaviest breakdowns of the weekend; and Bloodywood, whose fusion of metal and Punjabi folk has made them a major festival favourite. The Sunday lineup overall leans toward modern alternative metal, emotional heavy music, and high-energy live performances to close out the weekend. Thanks again to our sponsor Broken Day Clothing.
