Download Festival may already be a mainstay of UK festival culture, but down under it’s only just starting to find its feet. The Aussie metal bash took place over two different cities (Sydney & Melbourne) last weekend, with the likes of Ghost, Rise Against, Slaves, Slayer and Sum 41 all part of the latter city’s billing. Louie Mosscrop trekked around Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse to capture the twenty best bands Download Australia had to offer.
