Volbeat were up next after joe bonamassa. I'd recently got into these and after their performance sure did want to listen to them more. There stage set was really cool they had like graveyard gates each side of the stage. Really cool anyways. Quite funny really, I obviously sang the songs I knew but the bassist kept looking in my direction so was rather awkward when I didn't know the words to some songs. Ah well. Win some you lose some!

 

 

 

Out of all the bigger bands that day Steel Panther were the ones I was least looking forward too. I just couldn't get into their music at all, I thought they were annoying glam rock who were extremely arrogant and weren't good musicians. Turns out I was wrong about a couple of things. I actually did enjoy their set. I guess they seem arrogant due to the show etc they put on. Credit where it's due they proper got the crowd going and are actually talented musicians. Tough act to follow but Alter Bridge were up next, I knew they'd smash it!

Alter Bridge made way for Aerosmith. This was my first experience seeing the almighty Aerosmith. They were on my list of bands I wanted to see so I'm glad I finally managed to tick them off, I never thought the day would come! First they put some backstage footage on the big screen before coming on the stage. Excitement vibes flowed around Donnington!
As expected they were incredible. Steven Tyler's voice is nothing less than awesome! The whole band were just non stop, smashing out hit after hit. It was an amazing way to end what was such an incredible day!
