Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. First time going to download, went on Thursday for the day after wanting to go for years and never having anyone liking the music enough to go. Went to reading 5/6 times between 2008 and 2014. Firstly I have to say the crowd/vibe At download was great - everyone enjoying themselves, looking after each other and no kids being stupid. Stages and arena seemed quite small for the number of people, but good number of bars and toilets. Wasn’t a fan of the urinals overflowing though!!!
Only major negative was the food - thought it was shockingly overpriced. Far more than any event I have ever been to before - £15 for a burrito and it was only really basic quality - the other vans near the burrito van at the back of the second stage seemed to be similar prices! Not sure if we were unlucky with where we were when hungry?
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Weekend.
