Siddey1994 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Just now, andyrhodes24 said: Slam Dunk 23 sounded like a mess in general, I live 10 mins drive away from Temple Newsam and I was still put off from going this year due to the logistics of taxis, food and pick up last time, plus the obviously high ticket price. Usually I think people hyperbolise about bad experiences at festivals, but I can safely say it was a complete shambles. Leeds fared better than the south from what I’ve heard, but only marginally. It’s not a great sign when you’ve got people queuing for 5+ hours to get into the car park for a single day festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst experience I’ve had was Leeds Fest 2019 when it was 30°C+ all weekend and they ran out of free water at the pumps plus water/soft drinks at the bar. Feeling dehydrated? No problem, here’s a warm Carlsberg. £7 please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we are talking about the worst run festival in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Slam Dunk Leeds was a bit of a hodgepodge this year, but made the long trudge out east instead and got my ride there. Ended up being an inspired call, given the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago If the southbound track underneath the M1 was open to public access, I probably could have been at the services there in twenty-five minutes. From there, home is a little trickier thanks to navigating the waterways, but it would be doable for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukecork Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Seen something online from Ticketmaster regarding Cardiff Castle but can't for the life of me find it now. I'm sure they was teasing some form of emo gig that will be announced at 10AM today, anybody seen anything similar / any ideas to what it could/shall be ? Posting in this thread just incase it is a potential Download band for 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Somebody was talking about it in another thread not too long ago, but yet to see it myself. You'd assume it would be the kind of band Download would go for. Will say that if Linkin Park and MCR tickets were to go on sale this week, there would be a lot of very panicked people looking forlornly at their wallets.

callum97 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago If Bad Omens don’t play this year, I’m sure they will return as a headliner next time. I think they are one of the next bands to get the bump, they would probably sell nearly as much tickets as sleep token if they did an arena tour here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernangel Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Muse announcing dates over Download weekend would suggest they were going to tour but decided Download was not going to be one of the places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contender for AOTY for me Not sure if it knocks off (pun absolutely intended) the new Knocked Loose record for me in terms of heavy releases, but it's absolutely outstanding! "the center's falling out" in particular had me pulling all kinds of nasty faces. So heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyDavid Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I'd be happy with Falling in Reverse, Knocked Loose and Rise Against as the bigger bands in the next announcement Thinking of going Camping Plus this time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
