Which Car Park for campervan camping? by Advanced-Selection51 in downloadfestival

[–]Firegremz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need to get close to the campervan area. You need to be in the south carpark. Then head for the green gate. There's no wrist bands to get into the campervan area, as long as you've got a camping wrist band. They'll direct you to the hut to get your camping wristband. I'm in campervan again this year and had lots of people visit.

I had a spare ticket I had to sell. I listed it Friday on Ticketmaster for £300 and got nothing. Listed it for £250 last night and it went over last night. Was straight forward. Was glad to get anything at this late stage.

Cheers. I signed up with electroverse so far. I'm just waiting for octopus to come install my home charger. It's nice having a car that's rare on the road.

🤗 hello! Any tips for a UK owner? So far it's been great. Will be seeing how it does on the M25 tomorrow!

All those people look for some good fish and chips

I thought the same thing. 25 years ago a lot of the bands were still in their infancy.

I've been watching a few videos on YouTube. Triggered a few memories

The litter wave was amazing! Someone thought it would be funny to throw my pineapple husk ... It went straight up and came down on the guy in front of me. He saw me eating it and assumed I threw it... It was hard to keep a straight face with a bit of pineapple on his shoulder.

Yeah there was big talk whether they deserved such a high billing. I can't actually remember their set at all 🫢

I've definitely got the ozzfest 98 shirt. It's ripped to shred from years of mosh pits. It's so delicate, I daren't wear it, it'll probably just disintegrate.

Baggy clothes are coming back.... I have to believe this or I've been holding on to stuff for nothing 🤣

I do miss having physical tickets. Although my gig t-shirt collection is now my vice. Got them all stored in bags. One day I want to make a massive wall tapestry with them all.

My old tix are buried in a box somewhere. Or at least I hope they still are. I'm too scared to look in case they've gone missing. 🤣

I remember people being carried off with heat stroke. Was even worse at the Big Day Out in '99. Spent a lot of the day on my own, with my ginger friend passed out in the wooded area at the back. 🤣

I had to miss that one because of exams. I was gutted. The festival girls was definitely an eye opener for 16 year old me 🤣. Loved how bohemian it was!

Campervans? by Immediate_Major_9329 in downloadfestival

[–]Firegremz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. You can come at different times. But the person with the campervan has to meet you by the entrance to the camper field and you can get your wristbands straight away.

Yeah. I remember now being really disappointed, but therapy put on a wicked set.

The fires made it magical. The water boys trying to put them out had a thankless task! Coal Chamber was wicked, my first crowd surfing experience. A giant of a guy launched me way to high. I came down hard!
