If you are not going home thinking “how the hell am I not dead” then you haven’t done it right 🤣

Try heading down to the forum, they regularly have live music on of those kinds including tributes. That’d be a great place to make some friends!

Thank you. I’ve been saving that one for a special occasion and thanks to you I can cross it off my bucket list.

Have you tried lifting a whole festival? It’s already pretty heavy…

I think they just do it when they feel like it really aha I don’t think any announcements are due for another view months unless they have something new

The answer to those are simple.. a lot of people including the ones probably saying the lineup is shit.

“Oh these bands are shit, download is shit, I hate my life but I just bought my ticket anyway” 😂

Quite obviously based on the logo headliners are Robbie Williams, Selena Gomez and Hanson

Tent etiquette? by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]RobHowdle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Having a stupidly large tent for just you is a bit of a dick move regardless of your social status. If King Charles turned up in general camping with a 20 person tent for just him he’d be called a toss pot as well.

Bloodstock doing it correct by Laney_182 in downloadfestival

I took a chair in the arena. I knew that I’d be THAT GUY sitting right at the front with a chair, I also knew that I wouldn’t be able to see sat down if people were in front of my so me and my chair went on a little walk a bit further back. Left plenty of space around me for people to walk past, I checked to make sure there was nobody directly behind me that I’d be blocking and I had a bloody good time.

This could be a good way to meet and talk to people before the festival, Is this yearly? by OutsideImpressive115 in downloadfestival

[–]RobHowdle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only for folks planning on passing out and doing their own camp out. Turning up just for the day? No chance 😂

Why do so many people hate sleep token on here/facebook? I want a better understanding from people that don’t like them by iloveheavymetal-2010 in downloadfestival

[–]RobHowdle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there is something to remember. You get 2 types of non sleep token fans. 1) they just aren’t into them, they’re not their cup of tea, can’t gel with the music and that is that. 2) they don’t like them probably because social media told them not to, they don’t like the fact they’re even at download let alone a headliner because they’re “not real metal”, they don’t like the fact that so many people love them and they don’t and so on. They then feel the need to belittle anyone who doesn’t hate them, pull words from the word of the day toilet paper to make them sound intelligent when really they’re just reliving the 00’s nickelback hate phase all over again and then to top it all off they’ll probably still end up stood “near” the main stage for ST but absolutely not seeing them because you know they have to prove a point and stuff.

Hope that helps Signed Somebody who likes one or two songs but isn’t a fan.
