| The Download Festival 2008 at Donington Park in England, will be held between June 13th-15th. The show features some of the best metal artists, which this year include KISS, Judas Priest, Motorhead and Disturbed.
Jackson Guitars will be hosting the Riff & Destroy II competition during the event. Attendees are invited to get up in front of a camera and play their most metal riff. There will be five finalists chosen each day, who will be judged in a final competition held on Sunday the 15th by Phil Demmel of Machine Head. One winner will be chosen from that group. The grand prize is a signed Jackson Demmelition King V guitar. Here is a sample video from last years Riff & Destroy competition to show what the competition is like. |
