Donington Park is the legendary motorsport circuit near Castle Donington in Leicestershire that doubles as the spiritual home of British rock and metal — host of the open-air Download Festival every June since 2003 (and the Monsters of Rock before it). When the racing stops, the arena fields multiple stages and tens of thousands of fans across a long weekend of heavyweight live music. It's a vast, open-air festival site rather than an intimate club, but for metal in the UK there is no more storied ground.
