I went last year for the first time- it was the atmosphere on canp and the mates you go with that made it regardless of line up.
But Sunday is showing promise and want to try the new, smaller bands too |

We both go every year since 09 only missed 2014..
Can't wait for this year never seen System! Also can't wait to see Zombie and death punch again.
Where does everyone normally camp? We did R.I.P one year and was terrible as no atmosphere at all.
Wish June would hurry up!

"How is it underfoot? Is it absorbing the rain happily, or is it going to be like the Somme again? "
Download has become an annual rain dance! even if it doesn't rain during the festival it always does for the week before. |

A lot off work has been done to drain the water away and a lot more hard standing walkways created in camping village . Ground is soft in places but hopefully it won't be as bad as last year |

Judging by the 24 hours of solid rain we've had in Brum, I can probably safely ignore this update and assume it's going to be a soggy quagmire now anyway. Thanks all the same! |

You're not kidding. It's like some sort of freak weather system. El Donniño. I blame myself, I didn't go for the first four or five years, and it was always the hottest weekend of the summer, Downloaders would return sunburnt and dehydrated. First year I went it was grey and wet, and it's gone from bad to worse ever since... |

Nothing wrong with heavy rain, Wouldn't be Download without it.
2012 was by far the worse for weather. But we didn't let that stop us
Is anyone heading down on Wednesday? |

Did you go in 2007?Definitely a close second for worst weather.2012 was biblical weather-wise and definitely the worst for mud and flooding,although the mud and rain made for excellent inflatable racing down the campsite footpaths  |

Perhaps I've got the year wrong  It was a year that some kid-punk band were headlining,I had a great time laughing at 13yr old weekend emos with make-up running all over their faces trying to scrounge beer,cigarettes and off folk,and all their pissed-off-looking parents towards the back holding umbrellas  |

"Any Download crew on here? Husband has lost his phone there. He's tracked it to Blue camp he thinks. Any help much appreciated."
I have let Ryan's cleaners know for you and I will call into the office later to see if they have done anything in blue camp , they have found lots off phones and wallets today from gold camp so there is a good chance off getting it back if they find it |

Thank you. He had a good look around blue camp earlier but with no luck. It's been reported to the police and blacklisted by the phone company. We now think it was stolen as he went nowhere near blue camp while he was there on Sunday. |
