In May 2010, the band commenced a third leg of Europe, which included an appearance at the Download Festival in the U.K. "The reports that AC/DC believe their record-breaking fourth appearance at the Donington site to be their own gig, rather than part of the festival, is compounded by the fact that they've brought their own stage," remarked Classic Rock. "In Brian Johnson's grunted banter between songs there's no reference to this being anything other than another AC/DC gig, but another AC/DC gig these days is better than almost anything else you're gonna see."Johnston, Emma; Ewing, Jerry; Selzer, Jonathan; Milas, Alexander; Ling, Dave, "Reviews: Download festival"; Classic Rock No. 148, August 2010, p111
