Metal legends Iron Maiden will have their headline performance at next weekend's Download festival streamed to fans worldwide as it happens, reports Blabbermouth.net. The Maiden, due to appear on Sunday 10th June, are apparently breaking a record by topping the bill for a fourth time at the festival formerly known as "Donington Monsters Of Rock", with the streaming of their performance presented free to fans around the world. And before you non-metal fans snort into your skinny jeans, consider this - Iron Maiden have sold over 70 MILLION ALBUMS worldwide.

The live streaming is the latest in a string of media efforts made by Download organisers. They have their own radio station, powered by BBC 6Music, which will broadcast 24 / 7, and Bruce Dickinson will present his 6Music show live backstage on the Saturday night. Fans will be able to text track requests to the station, and also send photos of their metalness to the 6Music website. In addition, Channel 4 will be screening highlights packages of the festival.

All the details of Download's multimedia assault can be found at Blabbermouth.net.
