Posted on the other thread,but will here as well as that is close to limit.

We are also looking forward to this year's Download.

My first in many years. L's first ever. Also going with another friend

Looking forward to 4 great days - plenty of bands we've not seen before, with excitement building as June approaches ??

Would be good to bump into some fellow fabsters - difficult to see how with so many bands to move around to see !!! Barely time to eat, drink & pee.

Sure contact will be made nearer the time - won't be long ?

I think Wednesday evening in the village is going to be best.

From what I understand, there will be no mixing between camping areas, so socialising will be in the Village or Arena only, and people are going to want to see bands on Thursday

Paid or volunteer?

Volunteer, hotbox.

I assume other staffing comes from agencies.

If you're happy to be a volunteer, Oxfam still needs people for Download. Volunteers have to be on site the day before the festival officially starts so for Download, you will need to be there from Wednesday, 7 June to Monday, 12 June.

Are you happy to coordinate?

I was going to put it on the Meet requests forum, so there is more visibility about those interested

The word coming from the organisers is still a no on this.

Quiet myself too, looks like a walk through the woods to get to the village

Last year you couldn’t get into the quiet, eco or specific campsites without the right wristband.

Not sure about general campsite access with a quiet wristband this year due to it being sold out.

I did see a post somewhere about the rules being that you’re allowed in the campsite your wristband states and that’s it, can’t find it now though

So from what I know so far, any camper can enter general camping camp sites, so eco, quiet, accessible, rip etc can enter the coloured sites but general campers cannot enter special sites.

Apparently you can enter rip camping however you are required to pay some kind of deposit.

This is all I know so far

Official word is, only allowed in the campsite you have a ticket for… no general in Eco, Quiet etc.. AND vice versa
