If you're in any doubt over whether it was the right call to finally have Limp Bizkit headline Download for the first time - 23 whole years after they pulled out of topping the festival's very first edition - you need only take in the sheer number of red caps bouncing around Donington hours before the nu metal megaweights even arrive on stage.
Once they do, they waste no time - well, maybe a little, teasing Break Stuff right off the bat before Fred Durst halts proceedings to rile everyone up a bit more, guitarist Wes Borland dropping a few bars of the band's rowdy cover of Ministry's Thieves for good measure. Then Break Stuff hits for real, and it's instant bedlam; this is metal's ultimate party band, doing what they do best, in front of what is surely the biggest UK crowd they've ever played to.
