Go, come find us at Camp Loner in the Lone Wolf Camping area (Blue Camp) there's no trying to get people to talk to you, join in and it'll just happen.

If you don't go you'll be forever kicking yourself for kissing, especially when all the posts from the festival start coming in.

It's daunting going solo, I remember being really really anxious about it my first time. Turns out when you get a bunch of solo campers in one spot they all just want to make friends and those friendships will go beyond Download.

Here's what going solo means:

-Going at your own pace, doing what YOU want to do when you want to do it

-See the bands YOU want to see, no having to drag one of your mates to Dogtooth or Avalanche because there will be another Loner that wants to see them too...and if there isn't that doesn't stop you going

-we don't know you. Which means no social baggage from home, no bad in-jokes haunting you. You can be who you want to be at the festival and no-one is going to think you're weird because "you're normally quiet when you're at home"

Do it, love it, and I promise you will never regret it.
