Download Festival

[Gordonbcb]

As part of my ongoing mid life crisis, I'm heading for the Download festival at Donington this weekend. Looking forward to a weekend of AC/DC, Aerosmith etc and all round debauchery.

Might even manage to fit in a couple of cigars

Anyone else ever been to this festival (or any of the others) - I'm looking for tips on how to survive the weekend.

It's not as bad as Reading and Babywipes are your best friend.

I can't get time off , always wanted to go to Download. I will watch it on scuzz, and at least I have tickets to a few good unknown bands in the uk that is, this year including Framing Hanley who are awesome.

Last year, one of my favourite bands, 5 finger death punch, went into the crowd with a video camera, very funny reactions from the fans, especially the girls.

I did T in the park a few years a go with Oasis and Chemical brothers headlining. A 48 hr bender with no sleep. required another 2 days for recovery.
I hope the weathers on your side.
