McFly star 'desperate' to attend Download

Dougie Poynter has admitted that he is desperate to attend this year's Download festival.

The McFly star, who is dating Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford, revealed that he is trying to take time out from the band's busy schedule to enjoy the festival atmosphere.

"Download probably has the best lineup I've heard of in ages," he told the Daily Star.

"Limp Bizkit and Mötley Crüe should be amazing so I am going to try and blag tickets - I'd totally camp."

Further acts confirmed for the event include ZZ Top, Marilyn Manson, The Prodigy, Whitesnake, Slipknot and Def Leppard.
