Scowl, Zulu, Speed, & More Drop Off Download Fest Over Barclays Sponsorship

The Download Festival is taking place this weekend at Donington Park in Leicestershire, UK, but a bunch of the best young hardcore bands in the world will not be there as scheduled. Several groups have dropped off the lineup today after learning that Barclays, which has strong ties to arms companies that sell weapons to Israel, is a sponsor of the fest.
