Well I'm an older rocker - and Bella rocks in it's own way
As folk have said - it depends if you want a riot or not, the linup is quite folky, but you'll find that there are a few lesser known bands who like to rock a bit more, this year Dananananaykroyd look quite fun.
In terms of the night life etc - there's certainly some debauchery - especially from the teenage crowd, some of the posters here seem to have been at a different festival to me, if they are implying that the weekend is like one giant family love in! it's friendly certainly, but there's wilder fun to be had if you look for it i'm sure, and of course depending on your mood at the time one persons fun is another persons hooliganism (I'm getting old, but i've seem some completely tube and dangerous stuff at Bella, mainly from pissed up teens)
however, i used to go to Download when it was plain old monsters of rock - I remember going for my first year as a festival virgin and seeing a deranged biker pouring milk over a sheep's head in some strange ritual and thinking 'where the hell am i?' safe to say i've never seen that at Bella.
