Download last weekend was rip snorting, it gets better and better every year.

A great mix of new and classic bands, make up a brilliant line up and many a tough choice as to who to see as so many bands are on at the same time!

I love music festivals, my first being Monsters Of Rock in 1990 a festival I have mentioned before – Twice as Hard – you cant beat live music in the sun (?) you almost don’t recognise the weather due to liquid refreshment, dodgy noodles and the whiff of rosemary……..

So, did you go? Who were your highlights?

Muse?

Hey Hello?

Kiss?

Billy Idol?

Slip Knot?

It’s always amazed me how many great bands get to play at such a great venue, great vibe and fans – all down to Mr Andy Copping – he took a great format and spun it upside down introduced more choice and made what was once a one dayer into a weekend party.

Being able to cater to all tastes also help introduce new and old alike to the new and old fan. Glastonbury has always been an eclectic mix of genre, new/old/weird. But Download gives a particular fan of ROCK the opportunity to taste all of it’s wonderful flavours. Plus showcase, if you will, new up and coming talent.

Its just fucking brilliant. A lot if hard work goes into it every year and I for one salute them one and all!

Here are a couple of  my highlights………
