Architects talk headlining Download Festival and cake with Metallica
By Mitch MansfieldBut many of the headliners at the UK's biggest rock and metal festival have stayed the same - until this year.
Neither had headlined Download before, which traditionally opts for "legacy acts" - older bands seen as guaranteed ticket-sellers.Friends Jordan, 24, Alistair, 25, and Chloe, 21, told Newsbeat they'd come to this year's Download to see both UK acts."They deserve it," says Chloe, who points out that both bands have "worked hard" to attract new fans.
But Sam says Architects aren't taking anything for granted, and pushes back on describing more experienced bands as "legacy acts"."They're massive. They're ginormous. But we're now being given an opportunity to show that we can hopefully be some of those bands to replace them when they're not here any more.
