Download Festival Melbourne welcomes Melbourne's Cast Down to the lineup.



Download Festival Melbourne finally goes down later this month, but before the inaugural event kicks off, there is one more band to be added to the bill. In this case, it's Melbourne hardcore noise-makers Cast Down, all thanks to Triple J Unearthed and The Racket. The young Melbourne band are the most recent addition to the festival's lineup following High Tension and Make Them Suffer addition to the lineup respectively the other week.

Last year, Cast Down dropped their dissonant and bitter single, 'Leatherman' and supposedly will have a new EP coming in 2018 which a lot of us here at KYS are all looking forward to hearing. Our own Matty Sievers actually caught the band open for Being As An Ocean's and Stick To Your Guns Corner Hotel show last month and had some very lovely things to say about their high-energy and engaging live set. A solid live experience that they'll be bringing right to the Dogtooth Stage of Download Melbourne come noon Saturday, March 24th when all of this shit goes down.

Be sure to check out their 'Leatherman' single below and roll out early come the day to see Cast Down do their thang.



You can Catch Cast Down opening Download on Saturday, March 24th and supporting Honest Crooks around Australia this April. All dates and info for that tour here
