Okay kiddies, who's going this year?

I'll be finding the coinage to pay for my tickets this coming week.

For those who want to know wtf I'm on about: http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk

The Lineup can be found: http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/lineup/index.asp

I'll be camping with uni friends, and meeting up with some sporadics from back home.

So, who's going as well?

do i look really weird if i say i have heard of none of those bands XD but i hvant heard of many bands to begin with ^^*
aaannyway... if its gonna be ?400+ i may stay away >.<

Ash u hear these guys at bombshell XD

btw Alice, a load of forum members are teaming up , including me and Lesley

[Lez]

yup yup, i will definately be there

U will recognise some of these bands from bombshell ash, if not, i can give u a head start as i have music from some of em...

[eblade]

Its all rock, metal and punk music!

I will have to overload you with cds it seems!

And I think its only ?125(?) this year, which is cheap considering how many bands/stuff to do there is to wander around and see.

But as normal, I'll try and mother hen everyone I see at the end.

Last year as we were leaving, people exploded a tent!   O.o

[necron91]

it's ?135 but it'll cost ?147 with booking fee and postage 

but still, it's cheaper than seeing one band for ?30

thats still alot of money! >.<

[Lez]

yeah but u get to see loads of top bands, mosy of which usually cost at least ?30 per gig!! that includes camping too! and its fri-sun.

It is a lot of money, but should be really fun, and its apparently going to be cheaper than the other festivals this year....

[eblade]

Should be good this year.  But yes, its cheaper than going to random bands, and you also get all the sideshows there.  Last year there was tons of bmxing and skateboards, as well as the creepy sideshow stuff.

And I can always bomb you with cds Ash, but I'm not sure I have much of the bands that are playing (well...I do, okay, I have a hefty amount, but dunno which ones are best to give!).

I'm thinking about it, I'v never been to a festival even at my adgvanced age. I wounder how it's done as Donnington dosn't have what I would consider a good layout for it and they have strict noise controlls of IIRC 105Db on compeating vehicles.
