10 Bands You Need To See At Download Festival 2017

10. Creeper

Southampton's very own melodic punks, Creeper, clock in low on this list because, quite simply, they're playing the main stage on the Saturday of Download, so they will very likely draw at least something of a great crowd.

However, the Gothic up-and-comers are performing only the second slot of the day, so consider this list entry something of a reminder to crawl out of your tent in your inevitably hungover state and check these guys and girls out.

The perfect blend of massive riffs, catchy choruses, energetic speed, sombre keyboards and pure charisma, there's definitely a reason why Creeper is one of the fastest-rising rock bands since Slipknot.

And with what will doubtlessly be a passionate and engaging set (as they always deliver) at Download, it probably goes without saying that the band's high-profile slot will give them at least a couple of new fans to help along the way.
