and now removed entirely. :unsure:

Sorry, I can't read properly.

LoG were not in the list of bands I was sent as playing Download, and I've no idea how come I thought they were. I messed up, and apologise.

LoG will not be playing Download.

After going to several Download and Monsters of Rock I thought that Download 2007 was one of the best line ups I'd ever seen (Barr one headliner lol) But If they get everyone on the E-festivals line - up list I honestly think this one may top it.

19:45 tonight on Zane Lowe Radio 1 right? Dont let us down guys.

See why do you gotta change my words for me? I said "bit of a prick" and I was refering to the fact that he was resorting to childish name calling as opoosed to just marketing his new festival, and why he thinks people should part with their hard earned pennies.

Grow up love! You might want to consider some anger management, maybe get a friend to give you hug. Hostility never solved anything now did it!?

I aint the one that needs to grow up here sweety, so I misquoted you - shoot me.

the man is responsible for at least 2 of the best loved names in metal festivals, so he obviously doesnt have a clue and should take advise off of you should he?

you said in the other thread that the tickets are expensive but you quite happily brag about selling them on ebay for £200, maybe Galbraith should have contacted you for his sales strategy too seeing as you think they are worth £200.

ive been to festivals before where there are 2 side by side stages, and it works brilliantly.

at least we know that sonisphere is going to be in a field - download could be on the runway of EMA for all we know this year.

Guys come on. I'm sure they both be great festivals. He probably shouldnt have bad mouthed Download but the guy did put monsters of rock together so he's gotta be doing something right. Lets not make this thread about argueing. We're all here cos were looking forward to finding out whose playing xD

You just love putting words in my mouth don't you honey? Did I say he didn't have a clue? Did I? Find where I said "he does not have a clue, he should take advise off me". Find it (do not use that what I just said, it doesn't count!) I said, "festival organiser is a bit of a prick". I stand by that. Like someone said previously, just cus he can put on a show, does not necessarily make him a decent person!

The tickets are expensive. Everyone is pretty much in agreement on that. People will still pay it. Just as people will sell unwanted tickets on EBay for £200. Fact. Same thing happens with Reading/Leeds and V (occassionally). For the record, I have NEVER sold a ticket on EBay. Though I do know people who have. I don't condone it. But at the end of the day, it's a simple rule of business. "Supply and demand", while there are people willing to pay such prices, there will be people wanting to sell them at higher prices.

I'm going to rest my brain now. I still think you need a hug.

See I was gvien the impression that Black stone cherry would be back for download this year. It was them that said they were hopefully playing. (I worked at a few venues with them) But there's nothing on the line- up about them so maybe it dodnt work out. Shame, think there a great live band.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
