 They may be splitting up in less than 2 months but this weekend, Thunder wowed the Download crowd with their 45 minute set on the Tuborg Stage on Saturday evening. If the tent had had seams, they would have been bursting! More than 5,000 fans turned up to watch British classic rock legends.
It was 1990 when Thunder first appeared at Monsters Of Rock at Donington, a performance that has become the stuff of legend. It was, therefore, a fitting prelude to their Farewell theatre tour, which kicks off in Glasgow on 1st July and culminates at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo on the 11th.

Thunder formed in 1989, releasing their debut album Backstreet Symphony in 1990, which went Gold, as did their follow-up Laughing on Judgement Day, which peaked at number 2 in the UK album charts. Their legendary appearance in 1990 at Monsters of Rock at Donington cemented their place in the hearts of British rock fans. Twenty years later, after twenty top-50 singles, 9 studio albums and a 2-year hiatus, this really is the end of the trail for Thunder.
