Download Festival '08

[Dracata]

* Who's already booked, and who's planning to?
* Been before or first time? If so how many times?
* What's your primary music taste/genres
* Who are you most looking forward to seeing of the few that have been announced so far?
* What band/s do you most want to play?

I went in '06 and '07, I'll be buying my ticket within the next week and i'm seriously looking forward In Flames, Rise Against and Disturbed. Also quite partial to Alter Bridge and Offspring. Will also go and see Kiss for kicks!

As always, hoping Rammstein will be announced to play, but they won't as they rarely due festivals due to the amount of pyro and stuff they use in their act.

Also hoping for Killswitch, 36 Crazyfists (both played last year so not too likely) and ill Nino!

Smaller band but recent personal favourite, hoping Fair to Midland will play (they played '06 but I hadn't heard of them back then so didn't go)

I'm not trying to be funny here. Or flippant. But I honestly do think that this is shaping up to be one of the worst festivals I've ever seen, this year. Which is a shame. Hopefully the lineup will get better.

The headliners last year were crap in my opinion as i'm not a maiden fan, and last year started off with farrrr worse bands in the couple of weeks than this year has so far, but turned out alright, so i'm holding out hope yet!

Guys! Me and 2 mates are heading on up to Download this year and i was just wandering do any of you know of a Travel Inn near Donnington Park?

For you guys that have been (and im sure there are plenty) what would you reccommend? Sleeping in a tent, van or is a Travel Inn the best bet?

Travel Inn!?!?!?!? What are you TALKING about man! You'll miss half the experience, camping is half the fun, the people you'll meet, the places you'll end up drunk..
