John Probyn, Download Festival Director said, "All of us who have worked on Download over the last ten years are very proud to have reached this milestone, and what a weekend it has been! God threw the kitchen sink at us this year and we dealt with it. Not everything was perfect for the 10th Anniversary, but we all got to enjoy it, and the show DID go on!"
Download 2012 presented new challenges, but with staff working through the night on the ground, fixing the known issues and with festival-goers remaining patient and in high spirits.
John Probyn added, "We are aware of some of the specific issues some customers faced as a result of the bad weather and the effect this has on the festival site and we can assure customers that every effort was made to prepare the ground prior to the event. All options were considered to manage this situation, but unfortunately there was nothing that could be done to prevent the resulting ground conditions. We will use the events of 2012 to once again improve the site for years to come."
Andy Copping, Download Festival promoter added, "This year is undoubtedly the biggest and best line up we've ever had at Download, and we've seen some absolutely cracking performances to help us celebrate our 10th anniversary. The crowds have been fantastic, there's been a real display of true Brit spirit on site to help us through the more challenging parts of the weekend, and to have had Black Sabbath, Metallica and The Prodigy headline our big birthday bash has been amazing!" Download has no confirmed acts yet for 2013.
A limited amount of Early Bird tickets will be going on sale on Friday at 9am and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
