Overpriced, crap line ups each and every year...
Its cheaper for me to fly abroad than go to the midlands to the download fest.
If Maiden play i may get a 1 day ticket.

I thoroughly enjoyed Download when I went. At the end of the day I can say that I was at the front for Black Sabbath and loads of other bands I love. But unfortunately they often book alot of sh**. I actually wanted to get a hold of Billy Idol that year as back in the 70s my dad threw a brick through his window and I promised him I'd try and get it back. From what I heard about last year though it seemed bollocks. Look how high bands like Funeral For A Friend were on the bill! Dear me!
