The 2005 Download Festival was one of the largest and most thrilling festivals since Download Festival '04, with a surprise appearance from The Pope himself during one of Nuns 'N' Moses' final songs "Sweet Child 'o Mary's". The Pope stumbled around on stage before finding a microphone and damning the Church of England, claiming that the Roman Catholics will rise up and destroy all other religions with the help of Bilbo Baggins. This outrage led to three Japanese Priests starting a rampage in a local shopping center and scaring a dog.
The tragic appearance of Harry Potter and his evil band of emo kids hellbent on disrupting the festival with their depressing music and sad poetry occurred during the final twenty-four hours of the festival. The Pope was forced to use the Dark Side to repel the emo kids and their leader Mr Potter. Although Harry was defeated, the damage was extensive, with over 3000 Christians turned emo. Jesus described the event as "sitting down and crying".
Thankfully, those effected were converted back to Christianity, with the exception of Tom Cruise who accepted treatment from the Scientologists.

===Nuns N' Moses cause riots===
Nuns N' Moses was a great disappointment since there was no Macromedia Slash or any of the other guys... just Moses with a drum machine, a crappy keyboard and two dustbin lids. He was driven off the stage by a steam roller.
This caused outrage in the Christian community resulting in 3 bishops being burnt alive and a large supply of booze being bought into the festival - 3 priests where convicted of drug dealing after being found in possession of crystal methane.
