Default I went to Download Festival yesterday.
For those who don't know it's like a metal/rock festival. My friends and I could only go for one day becuase of exams and revision. Here's the poster:



We got there a bit late becuase of traffic on the M1 and cars kept crashing so when we got there Atreyu were finishing. But we did see:

  • Flyleaf - A bit boring to be honest.
  • Five Finger Death Punch. We got quite close for that. Then they invited fans on stage to shake their hand and people were flying over the barriers and crowd surfing towards them. Their show had to be cut becuase the staff couldn't get everyone over safetly and it was going to end in disaster.
  • Lamb Of God. I was in a circle pit for that, right at the front (I could smell the pyrotechnics, I was so close) and for the last few songs, Randy Blythe was telling people to make the biggest circle pit he has ever seen and it was massive. There was so much blood on the floor at the end of the show.
  • Megadeth. They were pretty good. They had a really long set actually, probably becuase Five Finger Death Punch only played for 20 minutes.
  • The Blackout - They were fucking awful. I was only there because I wanted to band after them.
  • HIM. As some of you know, they are my favourite band, and they were AMAZING!!! Though I might be a little bit biased. I got pretty close for this becuase I was squeezing my way inbetween people. If I had gotten closer I would have flashed and thrown my bra at Ville Valo. I got hurt here. Some morbidly obese guy was trying to crowd surf, people could not hold him up and I looked round and he was at the side of me, going the opposite direction to me and then next thing the people holding him had thrown him and he went straight into my back. I then headbitted the guy infront, my friend got kicked in the face and a tiny girl (she was barely 5foot tall) got crushed and had to be taken out. But it was great.
  • 30 Seconds to Mars. Caught a bit of this but we didn't stay because we went to see...
  • Rage Against The Machine!!!! They were fucking amazing too. Most of the festival was watching them so it was packed and just insane. Zack de la Rocha had to keep asking people to move back becuase last week at the show they played, a fan died and people were getting hurt here because there were so many people. It was so fucking amazing though.

We are already in talks to go back next year for the whole weekend. I didn't get any pictures apart from a sexy woman's arse and a tango bottle. But I had a wonderful time.
