I went to 'download' about three years ago when Maiden played.

The crowd was great..because Metal crowds are always the best...but the people who organise it are idiots.

Some asshole came out between each band and said 'we'd like to thank our sponsers snickers, carling, livemusic, ticketmaster, gayweekley..etc'. WTF? I'm not hear to listen to propeganda.

That hasnt happened for the last 2 years. The only thing that was wrong with last year was the security guards, and they've gone with a new company for this years festival. There's no queue to get in or anything anymore

Did they have any 'piss' bottle throwing? That was great fun

to be honest, gnr and the prodigy are the only 2 bands announced so far that i really want to see, but those 2 are enough i think

Gotta agree, Download is a cool festival. Im not much of a 'nu' metal fan myself, but i found the crowd there to be extremely friendly. Only been once before when Maiden played a couple of years ago, but was very impressed. Nice site too, not like that shit hole Reading!

And lets save the piss bottles just in case some cunt comes on to advertise snickers! Or if the Rasmus turn up!

i was there last year too, it's by far and away the best atmosphere of any of the festivals, gotta love the crowd

and the lineup usually ends up being awesome nearer the time anyway

They will do closer to the time of the festival, but they'll be around Â£60

providing weekend tickets don't sell out, they will put day tickets on sale nearer the time, they didn't have many left last year though, nearly sold out the whole festival with weekend tickets i think

I'm getting my ticket tomorrow for Download.

They better still be on sale...my mate just got his and he'll be going on his tod me and a few other guys get ours!

I just hope The Prodigy dont overrun like they did at the leeds festival making GnR cut there set short

Since Guns are headling Coma, that ain't likely

More likely Guns will overshoot their set!
