Download Festival rename main stage in honour of Lemmy

Download Festival have paid tribute to Motorhead's Lemmy by renaming the main stage in his honour. 

The band pulled out last year when their front man Lemmy Kilmister sadly died of cancer. Fittingly festival organisers have replaced the band's scribing on the poster with an image of his iconic black hat. 

Iron Maiden, Rammstein and Black Sabbath will headline, ahead of 36 recent additions including Jane's Addiction and NOFX.
