"Download festival."

Just ordered my tickets, came to quite a lot £140 for the whole weekend and camping. As it is my first festival I need some valuable advice of all the veteran’s. What to bring, will it get robbed etc. Really looking forward to Bullet for my valentine and my chemical romance, but I’m sure Black Sabbath will steal the whole event. Also is anybody else going?

Poopots is coming with me by the way, will be an excellent weekend.

If you look forward to BFMV, you will be disappointed.

Still, enjoy.

Why will I be disappointed?

They sucks.

I'm going. It has one of the best line-ups I've seen in a long time... Can't wait to see Sabbath, Velvet Revolver, Megadeth and Slipknot.

I dunno whether to go see SOAD or Motorhead though! Hard choice! :D

Velvet Revolver are great live. Should be a fun festival.

I've been to a qutie a few festivals and you just need to take common sense items. Clothes for hot/wet weather, toiletries (tooth brush, bog roll), as much food as possible as the outlets there are extortionate and it might be worth taking a little pad lock for your tent. I know if someone really wanted to get in, they'd just rip the tent apart, but it will ease your mind somewhat.

And of course, lots and lots of beer. Not sure about Download's policies but the ones I've been to don't allow glass bottles into the camp site, so just take a few crates.

Take beer, don't rush about trying to see as many bands as possible.

Never been to Download, but can imagine there'll be a lot of nutters.
