Download Festival 2007 Lineup Includes Modest Mouse, The Shins, Wolf Parade and More

Thursday, May 03, 2007

Now that fans from the popular Coachella music festival are rested and rehydrated after last week's annual rock fest in the desert, other rock fests are gearing up for their own showcase of music and art this spring and summer across the U.S. and the globe.


The third annual Download Festival 2007 will offer fans indie rock favorites like The Shines, Wolf Parade, Modest Mouse, Icubus and more to be announced in coming weeks (get updates as they come in. More bands will be added on May 29).

The Download Festival, which Pitchfork calls "merely the little brother to the long-running, testosterone-fueled" UK Throwdown, will visit four U.S. cities beginning August 18 for four shows total that will end in October:


08-18 Boston, MA - Tweeter Center


08-25 George, WA - Gorge Amphitheatre


09-01 East Troy, WI - Alpine Valley Music Theatre


10-06 Mountain View, CA - Shoreline Amphitheatre
