Chase and Status have predicted they will get bottles of urine thrown at them when they play this year’s Download festival – click above to watch our video interview.
The DJ duo have joined the festival bill, which will be headlined by The Prodigy, Metallica and a reunited Black Sabbath, and will take place over the weekend of June 8-10 at Donington Park.
Will Kennard from the group told NME: “Someone said we’re going to get a bottle of piss thrown at us, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s a full on rock festival so you know that’s a part of our show, we’re going to bring that out and bring the madness.
Chase And Status – who attended the Brit Awards ceremony last week after being nominated for Best British Group – are part of a Download festival line-up which already includes Biffy Clyro, Soundgarden, Rise Against, You Me At Six and Tenacious D.
Chase And Status’ second album ‘No More Idols’ was the seventeenth biggest-selling album of 2011 in the UK, with sales exceeding 461,000 copies. The duo are currently working on their ‘darker’ third studio album, due for release in 2012.
