Some people could hear the music from Download Festival up to 15 miles away.

Topics in the music industry have been on fire, especially after the recent events concerning Download 2023. 

Download 2023 is a rock, metal-based concert with some of the biggest bands e.g., Metallica, Slipknot, Bring Me the Horizon and other bands. 

Because of the loud music which quite a lot of people enjoyed, there were many noise complaints. Some saying that Download was too loud as it could be heard up to 15 miles away, to which the rock and metal communities ignored as the majority had an amazing experience. Traffic was also an issue, but quickly died down after Wednesday once the campers were set up and ready to rock!

In other music mayhem news, The Foo Fighters have released a new album called 'But Here We Are' which is amazing for any big fans of the Foo Fighters. After the death of Taylor Hawkins, Josh Freese has taken the reins (or should that be drumsticks) as the new drummer and hopefully we will be seeing some smashing content from him soon in the UK. If their recent venture to the Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park festivals are anything to go by, then we are all in for a treat.  

For all you U.K rap fans out there, artist Dave has a new song 'Sprinter' Featuring Central Cee which is currently taking a big lead in U.K. rap currently so listen to it on any platforms. 

A Hip-Hop group has released a new album. That's right, Rae Sremmurd Released their new album SREMM 4 LIFE which has many good songs inside. 

2023 is shaping up to be one great year for the music business. For those of you with an eclectic mix like mine, you'll be hearing some top tunes.
