Both guitars feature a Biffy Clyro logo on the front of the Headstock and their signatures on the back of their respective instruments, and have made appearances on the band’s recent live dates. Formed by Simon Neil (guitar/vocals) and twins James (bass/vocals) and Ben Johnston (drums/vocals), in the mid-’90s, Scottish alternative rock band Biffy Clyro have been entering into the hearts of rock fans all over the globe. Known for their complex and interwoven guitar riffs, chord sequences and melodies, and intense and exciting live show, Biffy Clyro have gained mainstream success through the release of several successful singles.

Rock royalty, Aerosmith gave fans a memorable final UK show, System Of A Down returned for an electric headline performance, and Biffy Clyro didn’t fail to take their place as rightful Download Festival headliners. With the sun shining throughout the weekend and the improved site greener than ever, the crowd once again made Download Festival the most unmissable event in the festival calendar. With 300 metres of new drainage added (the height of the Shard in London), new traffic routes and increased security measures, Download fans were able to enjoy every moment of the festival to the fullest. Fans arriving on Wednesday took full advantage of The Village and campsites, providing the ultimate experience for Download festival-goers. From the Wall of Death to the Side Splitter comedy tent, silent disco, cinema, multiple food stands and even a full supermarket, the festival atmosphere was incomparable. The first full day of music on Friday saw Prophets Of Rage (featuring members of Cypress Hill, Rage Against The Machine and Public Enemy) deliver mammoth performances of their respective band’s politically charged hits, also paying tribute to their "fallen comrade", Chris Cornell.
