Download Festival 2018 ran between Friday 8th – Sunday 10th of June 2018, with camping open from Wednesday 6th.

The headline acts were

  • Avenged Sevenfold
  • Guns N Roses
  • Ozzy Osbourne

Personal opinion: A bit of a lazy line-up, with older bands and nothing crazy exciting.

Having Avenged was a nice addition though, and I think cemented them as a big name band for the future.

Below is my Vlog from the festival! Feel free to give it a watch.

I went with my girlfriend Esther as our second time at Download Festival together!

Here we are in the queue on the Wednesday!

The Prep

This year I again made a lot of Youtube videos about the festival, talking about the bands and what I was taking.

The Festival

Some of the highlight bands from this year were:

  • Rise Against
  • Bad Religion
  • Body Count

The weather stayed okay this year, for once! I even got this cool photo of a colourful sky!

Wrap Up

Download Festival 2018 was less about the music for me, and more about the atmosphere and experience.

I had a blast, met some great people and enjoyed the weekend thoroughly.

People leaving the festival and being sad

TL:DR Download Festival 2018 was brilliant and I had an awesome time!

My previous festival was Leeds Festival 2017.

My next festival was Download Festival 2019.
