Redhook kick us off on the final day at Download and as it happens, it's their second show of the weekend, following the Aussies' Saturday lunchtime acoustic set for Carlsberg. Today, they ramp things right up on a nearly astronomical scale to a tent that's absolutely packed for 11 in the morning.

Guns N' Roses confirmed as third and final headliner for Download Festival 2018.

Head to toe in country get up and monster moustaches that rival anyone's we were mesmerised by Whiskey Myers, whose dress sense is a good as their music and carries the same country twang and originality.

Relatively new to the blues rock scene are RavenEye. Made up of award winning blues guitarist Oli Brown, bassist Aaron Spiers and drummer Adam Breeze, the boys are taking their genre to a new, modern dimension. We caught up with Oli and Aaron to see what experiencing Download was like and what's next for these up and comers.
