First time at Download festival? Never fear! your one-stop survival guide to navigating the leading UK rock and metal festival is here!
DISCLAIMER: This is in no way an exhaustive list of things you should be taking to Download festival, but it does cover what I would deem to be the absolute essentials you will require in a light hearted manner.
Essentially this is just an idea I had for a video that was different to what most people will be doing with the usual packing videos, which I didn't really want to do.
It was also basically me practicing my editing before tackling what I'm sure will be a mammoth task in a couple of weeks time for the Download Vlog.
This year is shaping up to be an absolute monster of a festival and I am looking forward to it immeasurably!
If you happen to spy me wandering around the festival, be sure to give me a holler or a tap on the shoulder if you fancy a chat, I will not bite!
See you there!

Thank you, I didn't think about bringing a tent

@StegWi_ 21 день назад

Glad it helped! 🤘

@thomasnorgrove6167 23 дня назад

Buzzing for this year now! Hopefully weather stays clear, but not as terrifyingly hot as last year

@StegWi_ 21 день назад

Looking a bit moist atm, but we shall see! 😎🤘

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘

Great video mate! Another tip I would add is 2 pairs of socks per day and well waterproofed and snug army boots. I prefer them over wellies because while wellies would be a bit better for waterproofing, they're not exactly the best for comfort when you're on your feet all day. And the socks, well you don't want to walk around with wet feet. A friend of mine got trenchfoot from walking round in soaking wet trainers all weekend.

@StegWi_ Год назад

Thanks! Good shouts there, I've had aches and pains before from having to wear the wellies all day! Luckily 🤞 it seems like the weather is going to be quite nice this year again, so hopefully he won't get trenchfoot again 😅

@@StegWi_ My last Download was 2018 and it was very dry. I wore my Red Wings the whole time and I have to say it really does make a huge difference to invest in comfortable boots. And make sure you look after them so the leather doesn't crack and they have plenty of dubbin for waterproofing. You don't want leaky boots.

I discovered that the biggest thing was buying a decent cool box especially last year at Bloodstock! It took a real battering due to the heat but still managed to keep stuff cool to a reasonable degree!

@StegWi_ Год назад

I can't say that it's ever really been on my to take lists, way too much of a walk as it is without a big hulking cool box 😂 Although bloodstock was absolutely boiling last year so you definitely made a good purchase!

@mrbellthebutler Год назад

@@StegWi_ to be fair mine was on a trolley I should have added ahaha! It was great for food and booze (I'll let you figure out the ratio on that!)! Also, I should have also said a bloody good trolley if you plan to take loads is a god send! Much like the tent buy cheap expect rubbish!

@StegWi_ Год назад

@@mrbellthebutler I see! You're a much more organized individual than me then 😂 This is the first year I'm gonna take advantage of the click and collect from the co-op, getting real tired of lugging crates of dark fruits through the car park, managed to commandeer a friend's trolley last year at DL and it was a god send!

@mrbellthebutler Год назад

@@StegWi_ ahahah! It's all a learning curve! I've been doing smaller fests for some years and going to major ones has a whole new learning curve to it! It's all good fun though! I'll try and say hello if your at BS this year! I wasnt too fussed about DL originally then the lineup just got better and better but sadly too late for me!

@StegWi_ Год назад

I was shocked at how quickly DL sold out, but I am over the moon with the lineup, for me it might even be the best they've done whilst I've been going! I do indeed have a BS ticket for this year, so yeah maybe I'll see you there! 🤘

@StegWi Brazilian here with no UK festival experience looking to attend Download 2024... if I stay at a hotel in a nearby town, how easy would it be for me to uber to/back to the festival?

@StegWi_ 6 месяцев назад

Hi! It would depend on where you were actually staying. Some areas around the festival will probably be doing shuttles every day it is on, but that will vary. I have never stayed in any of the surrounding areas myself, I have always camped on site so Im not really the best person to give advice on this. If you have a Facebook account, I can suggest that you join this group: facebook.com/groups/DownloadMusicFestival/?ref=share It is full of people who will be happy to give you advice and who may have done the same thing before. 🙂

THE SARCASM I FUCKING LOVE IT AHAHAHA

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! 🤘😎

@Adam-to2no Год назад

Hey man does the 5 day camping ticket include access to the actual music festival or do I need to buy them separate?

@StegWi_ Год назад

Download do not sell camping only tickets, so if your ticket says 5 day camping, you will be able to access the campsites and arena for the duration of the festival 🤘 Depending on when you bought it, the 5 day camping ticket should be around £300-350. It will not include the parking though, that is a separate charge of around £30 if you pre-book it. If you don't have a parking ticket though, don't worry, you should be able to pay on the day, it will be about £35 for the whole 5 days (Wednesday 7am until Monday 12pm). Of course, if you're not driving, you won't need to worry about that 🤘

@Adam-to2no Год назад

@@StegWi_ okay thank you so much, so I don’t need to buy any single tickets on top?

@StegWi_ Год назад

No, you shouldn't have to. What is the exact description of your tickets on Ticketmaster? If it says something along the lines of 'weekend & 5 day camping' then it includes the 'weekend' -which is to say the 4 days of music, and the 5 days camping as well.

@Adam-to2no Год назад

@@StegWi_ yeah it says weekend & 5 night camping, thanks so much for putting my mind a ease man 🙏

@StegWi_ Год назад

You're golden then, that will give you access to the arena for the 4 days of music, the village, and the general campsites. No worries, it can be anxiety inducing sometimes with the sheer amount of different ticket types flying around out there! 🤘

@kyledonnelly6071 3 месяца назад

Hey dude any advice for a guy with a 3 day ticket and a big fucking tent. Concered we wont find a space.... awesome vid btw

@StegWi_ 3 месяца назад

Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed! I'm probably not the best person to ask about this, since I've only ever don't the 5 days so I've not had to worry about it. I suppose it depends how big is a ' big fucking tent'? 😂 If you get there relatively early on Friday, it might not be too bad, but they have lowered the capacity this year I think so the layout may have changed somewhat from last year. That being said, if you're willing to camp a fair bit away from the busy areas, you'll probably be fine.
