Hello!
I´m writing this the day after, since I got home late last night.
The day started early, since apparently my body is used to it. I chilled by the bed for a while and packed all the things I needed. which wasn´t enough since I always forgot something. I walked back and forth quite a bit.
When I finally had my stuff, I wanted to take a taxi to the Download Festival, but it cost 20GBP, which is expensive. SO I waited for a shuttle bus instead, which only cost 10GBP. I had to wait a while for it to come though. But when It finally arrived it went relatively quikly to get there. The weather at this wasn´t that great, it drizzled for a bit.
I arrived at Donington Park, and it was quite a long walk before getting to the entrance. When I arrived they hadn´t opened yet, and it wasn´t a long line for it.
When It opened I got in after a quite a long walk as well. When I got in, I realised the place is HUGE! Which might be expected, considering the fact how many bands that are playing.
I had a look around the place and went to the Main Stage. Which Boston Manor started off opening up the concerts.
After tht one I went to Zippo Encore Stage. Let me explain, the festival has 4 different stages that bands are playing. So I went to Zippo and watched Miss May I perform. Both Boston Manor and Miss May I was ok bands.
I went back to the Main Stage and watched Dragonforce, who was good. I went back to Zippo and watched CKY. I went back again to the Main Stage and saw a little of Marmozets. Afterwards I grabbed something to eat in wait for Volbeat. VOlbeat was great!
After Volbeat, I went to the bathroom. After that I went back to the main Stage, to see Bullet for my Valentine, who were great as well.
After that concert I went to the bathroom again, and Went back to the Main Stage, to see Avenged Sevenfold, the main act for the day. But this time, I was getting tired.
But Avenged Sevenfold was amazing. They are underrated. Sadly I didn´t watch the whole show, Since as said, I was tired.
I walked the long walk back to the shuttles, and took a bus back close to the hotel and walked with some people to the hotel.
Today is Day 2, and I will see a few bands.
