Speaking to Kerrang! magazine about their set tonight, frontman Justin Hawkins said the band are really nervous but so excited:

"We're terrified, but in a good way. We've missed the daunting-ness. It's one thing to play to your fans – that's an awesome experience – but we haven't done anything for a while that involves hostility." 

Tickets for the tour are due to go on sale at 9am on Friday, June 17. Watch footage of the band rehearsing for Download in the studio here:
