Download Festival 2024 – Sunday – Of Mice & Men. Though trekking over to the Avalanche tent took a bit of boot-in-mud strength, the sun was now hot on our heads, and the arena was bustling with music, food, smiles, and great times.
Approaching the tent a good ten minutes before their set was not enough to get fully immersed under the enormous canopy, as their show had already attracted fans in the thousands who were all cramming in to catch a glimpse of the melodic Nu Metal rockers Of Mice & Men.
They absolutely smashed their set with a lot, including me, wondering if they should have really been playing Opus or Apex.
But the joys of a smaller stage with a larger-than-life sound were felt as the band whipped up a heaving typhoon of Metal hysteria.
The guys caused a wild fever amongst the moshing crowds, with singer Aaron Pauley hitting every heart-in-hand lyric with the most grit-filled vocals.
I have always loved Of Mice & Men, but something in the air today made them punch out even higher.
