Fancy Dress Theme!

IMG-20230516-WA0009.jpg

Rubbish theme. As if there wouldn’t have been a bunch of virgins walking around in Hellfire Club t-shirts anyway. 
 

The last two themes have been total kop outs. Nu Metal and 80s rock stars… really imaginative for a rock festival.

A FAQ that includes the map status has been issued on the official forum a couple of days ago. 

https://forums.downloadfestival.co.uk/topic/15922-faqs-for-2023/

 

Is it just me being really thick right now or what...

Because I can't see mention of a map, I can't see anything that says a map is coming, I can't see "map status".

Am I truly this stupid 🙈

You couldn't have just copied and pasted or took a screenshot of this for me 🤣🤣🤣

 

When will the map come out?

We don't have it yet, but we expect it very soon. Its normally 1-2 weeks before the festival.

Yeah could've. But it's their communication. 

Didn't want to be the messenger that got shot.

Was hoping it was gunna be closer but hey ho.

I will have to do some digging to find out which luxury showers we'll be using because it says it's included with Camping Plus ticket, and I'll be pissed if we have to walk all the way over to Refresh Retreat 😭

Pendulum releasing a track with Matt Tuck (Bullet) the week before Download - special guest appearance? 

If 2000 Trees isn't an exclusive they might even take the FFDP slot, my money still on The Offspring being announced after Slam Dunk

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
