I'm not going to any festivals ever again.I find them dirty, i mean for example the toilets eww.. theres like shit and piss everywhere and nothing to wash your hands with and also i find there to be to many morons and overcrowded. I prefer to just go to a concert to see a band and support act it's so much better and worth the money.

Main Entry: 1ex·clu·sive
Pronunciation: \iks-ˈklü-siv, -ziv\
Function: adjective

1 a : excluding or having power to exclude b : limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group
2 a : excluding others from participation b : snobbishly aloof
3 a : accepting or soliciting only a socially restricted patronage (as of the upper class) b : stylish, fashionable c : restricted in distribution, use, or appeal because of expense
4 a : single, sole b : whole, undivided
— ex·clu·sive·ly adverb
— ex·clu·sive·ness noun

Ergo, not exclusive if it's going to be EVERYWHERE.

Amen to that sister. I went to Download last year and got severly burned and fainted (being a 6ft dude it looked really wimpy). I had to go home after just 3 bands, what a waste. And while i was there (on the thursday) i was bored of my tits, and fed up with the amount of cock bags in the place. Sod festivals!

I would love it to be Serj Tankian or Scars on Broadway cos they're my faves! But I think AC/DC are the ones who really will be headlining.

why is everyone forgetting soundgarden?! i bet they will headline along with ac/dc. as for the third headliner, my guess would either be system, metallica or maybe pearl jam or linkin park.

other bands id expect to see are;

-machine head
-anthrax
-megadeath
-biffy clyro
-bullet
-the used
-killswitch
-30stm
-atreyu
-him
-stone sour

just a guess anyways :)

Well I'd love to see Evanescence go on for a while at Download. I know it's unlikely seeing as they'll be busy recording their new album, but hey, it's due for a early autumn release so... Maybe... But other than Ev, Biffy Clyro have to be there.

You are wimpy. Man up. I'm a 5"2 girl and Ive been to about 7 festivals over 3 years and I'm going to Download this year.

You got burned because you didn't bring suncream and didn't hydrate yourself with water.

But I guess that's good as the ticket can go to someone else who wants it.
