Last time I went was in 2019. Among others, managed to see Def Lepperd, Tool, Slipknot and Slayer. Loved every minute of it

Honestly it was a pretty decent line up announcement. I'm stoked to have three new headliners rather than the usual same ones over and over.

I'm drooling at cradle of filth alone I genuinely am pumped for it I heard it was going to be a green day, slipknot muse line up not that would be an issue as I have seen muse live and I'm a huge slipknot fan yet to have seen them live but the thought of cradle of filth is just incredible

I won’t be able to afford to go for the whole week but I’ll deffo be aiming for a day ticket. I’ve seen Greenday and Korn and seeing Sleep Token at the end of the month, so I’ll wait for the days lineups to be released to decide which day to head for.

A touch confused by McFly?! I’m assuming that’s off the back of the success of Busted this year

There’s some decent bands listed, I’d like to see Weezer and Jimmy Eat World as a throwback to my teens for sure!

Yeah, they clashed with someone else who I can’t remember off the top of my head but apparently very well received.

Not surprised with Frank Carter as a pairing with Sex Pistols, but the worst mosh pit I’ve ever been in in my life was when he played 2

years ago with the rattlesnakes and did a women’s only mosh pit. It was dire.

Last time I went, it was called monsters of Rock and was just a one-day event.

I cycled there and got exhausted in the heat so laid down at the side of the A463 and chained my bike around my waist, had a nap and was woken up by the police later and missed the start.

I did manage to see Metallica and I think also slayer at a smaller stage to the right.

Just hope this time we'll manage to make some friends. Everyone is on about download bunch being so friendly etc but we literally didn't make any friends - always drinking alone. Maybe we're just too old for fun bunch."

Went to download for the first time last year and was awesome. Planning to go again this year too. I didn’t do the whole camping thing though. Had to ease myself gently to festivals!

I thought this was just us 🤣, we go every year with intention of being sociable adults and end up just us haha.

We go in a campervan and that seems to be less sociable to start, I like my comforts and privacy... plus the dressing space 😉

Weekend in the campervan section, cannot wait. Green Day are amazing live but cannot wait for Sleep Token, I've heard the arena tours were something else
