(hennemusic) Iron Maiden recently announced that they will headline the 2013 Download Festival on Saturday, June 15. In part two of a new series of sessions with Metal Hammer magazine, Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson speaks about the band's upcoming appearance at the 2013 event.
"There's only a few bands, really, that can make a big fuss when you go to a place like [Donington]," says Dickinson. "Partly, it's what they're doing. If a band's been doing festivals over and over and over again – every summer they come around – 'oh, it's them again.' You lose a little bit of that excitement. It's a neat trick if you can manage to keep the level of excitement up. In part, I think it's because we're doing this set, as well, so it is a historic set, it is a fantastic stage set. Everybody's seen the setlist; everybody's read the reviews; everybody's got to see it in the flesh." Watch it here.
