Society 1: Matt Zane Prepares For The Most Extreme Rock Show Ever at UK's Download Festival
The date draws nearer! Society 1 prepares to make history yet again as frontman Matt "The Lord" Zane finalizes plans for his greatest feat to date, to be performed live on Sunday, June 12 at the UK's massive Download Festival.
At 11:50 am on the final day of the festival, in front of tens of thousands of fans, Matt "The Lord" Zane will be pierced with six meathooks and hoisted in the air, suspended only by the hooks in his flesh. He will then proceed to sing an entire set worth of songs with Society 1 -- while suspended. Zane, who set a world record at LA's Key Club in March 2004 by performing the first live suspension by a rock singer, will attempt to smash his previous record by remaining suspended for the duration of 8 songs.
Zane's Download suspension marks his first European suspension show. With the massive Download audience on hand to witness this event, it will be the most-watched suspension in history.
Download, the UK's premier metal festival, is held at the prestigious Donington Park racetrack, home of the Donington Monsters Of Rock Festivals. This year's three-day event features more than 100 acts including such luminaries as Black Sabbath, System Of A Down, Velvet Revolver, Slipknot, and Slayer.
