UABB had to cancel last year’s appearance when singer Danny Leal fell ill. He says: “We are excited to be on this year’s line-up. Having to cancel last year was so upsetting for us and we do apologise. We are pumped and ready to come see all of you guys and completely make up for last year.”
Download takes place from June 12-14. Full lineup and ticket information can be found at the festival’s website.
