Should be good; looking forward to seeing Linkin Park live again - they were, for me, the highlight of the '05 Download festival.

Ill be going. Heading down on the Wednesday this year though as last year i went on Thursday night and it took us 2 hours to get in the place, and thats while carrying everything. Once in we had to walk to the furthest possible camp site as all the nearer ones had been taken. Awesome weekend though, dont think ive ever ben so dirty and smelly before :D

We will be there.

We go posh and stay in a motel...comfy bed..warm showers...no riff raff...people shouting tommy as loud as they can.

See you there.

This used to be a 'metal' fest didn't it?

My Chemical Romance? I don't think my fringe is long enough for this... :d

Just go to JAE instead.

Same weirdos that you'd find at a festival.
Same tent situation.
Same trance type music until 4am.

And added bonus of lots of fine cars.

The best bands are always in the big tents.

You also get a chance to see groups you have never heard of.

Bit disspointed with MCR to be honest. Dont mind them but wouldnt say they were headline material.

sipstrassi: What hotel do you stay at and how far away is it?? How much per night?? Might be tempted to go this route this year.
