It's a long shot but, an old man carving a canoe.

[Recommendations]

Lets see I would recommend checking out Saxon most of all.

Deftones, Megadeth, five Finger Death Punch are good to check out also. Using Last FM or Spotify can be pretty handy, just have a search for the bands off the poster and have a listen to their back catalogue.

[Who has camped in the Dairy Fields area?]

camping on flat ground is a disadvantage if it rains. think about it... where will the water run?

this is why the top of pennards is perfect or any other field on a slope. just remember not to camp at the bottom of it.

[Day tickets]

It's not surprising it hasn't been sold out. Download doesn't really get targeted by touts, does it?

[Look what you could be eating]

Glastonbury is a very nice festival, I really enjoyed myself when I went.

There is a lot of fantastic food on offer there, but to be fair the food isn't that different to other festivals. Most of the food places the Glasto board rave about are available at all the other major festivals and I doubt Download is any different.

The Welsh Oggie stalls, goat curry, teppanyaki, a significant selection of vegan and organic food, nearly all the vendors do the rounds of all the main festivals. Pretty much the only food you wouldn't get at other festivals are mostly stalls selling food which is local to Pilton.

Brothers cider though, now that is something that is exclusively Glasto. Glastonbury certainly has most of the other festivals beaten when it comes to alchohol on sale.

The purpose of this thread seems to be just some smug baiting more than anything else. Seems pretty stupid to target the Download forum over this kinda thing, especially how Download is generally said to be one of the other festivals to have a great atmosphere.

From my perspective, Download completely obliterates Glastonbury in regards to lineup. Even though Glastonbury features thousands of acts over the weekend it ignores metal and anything more than pedestrian rock.

[T in the park]

I happened to browse this thread just for the hell of it.

However I think I have dreamt of this happening on the forum (and this thread being posted) some time ago.

[I want this guy to play....]

Lol, that's brightened up my night .

[Garden Trolley advice wanted]

Make sure tires are correctly inflated, kupo.

Might be best to go to somewhere like BNQ so you can judge quality for yourself.

[What I love about this forum]

What I like about the word forum, is that it (almost) rhymes with Store-Room (if you stretch it a little), kupo.

[The Good & The Bad About Download]

I wouldn't mind a half-decent fish 'n' chips stall, to be honest. Can't see how it wouldn't be possible, and if done right, I'd be there like a shot!

[SNIFFER DOGS!]

We all shouldn't need drugs as Download has metal, leave it for goers to festivals that feature inferior music genres.

[Name Your Shame]

[Name Your Shame]

My Last FM includes such jems as Steps and Barry Manilow plus the I feel pretty song.

[Come here and tell me...]

jimi hendrix.

Am I the only one who assumed a different operation when clicking this topic ?

[Aerosmith O2 London Date]

They went pretty much straight away, am shocked that Download hasn't sold out yet with the headliners it has.

Can't believe V sells out in 2 hours and Download still hasn't sold out in 2 months. Don't get me wrong Im going V as well and I know they're different festivals but still, I just don't understand how come Reading will sell out on the day too, and Download takes months, just doesn't make sense

[Who's playing what day]

I Reckon Biffy will be playing under Them Crooked Vultures if they do play as they are way bigger than the deftones

[reputable ticket supplier? help, wana know if im being conned!]

A visual representation of what equates to using those websites.

[Aerosmith Setlist?]

They can't not play dude looks like a lady, least that's what I think.

[V is the worst festival going.]

You doing V this year as well Squall or just Download (me too Them Crooked Vultures and AC/DC sold me straight away)?

[Have we had any 2nd stage headliners?]

N-Dubs, Dizzee Rascal and Lily Allen.

Don't ask!

It was group decision making!!!

[The Annual Efests Meet]

Count me in probably, kupo.

[what smaller bands would you like to see ?]

*Keeps fingers really crossed for Amon Amarth*.

[what smaller bands would you like to see ?]

Wolfmother suck, end of. Really do not want them above Deftones. Same with 30 seconds to mars. Megadeth should be above all of these, but last time they played they were low down on the bill. Hopefully this year that will change.

[deftones]

I'm quite looking forward to Deftones, kupo.
