    Hopefully not quite as damp as the 2017 Download, dubbed 'Drownload' by the media...

  • How long is their slot at something like this? Is it better to go to a dedicated gig?
    I'd consider going again...
    Must say I'd prefer seated for better sound!

    I think seated with a decent view is best. It's cool to be up front but the sound always gets mushed.

    Looking at Clashfinder, the headline slots for the last couple of years range from 1h 35m to 2h.

    That was 2016.  Rained every day.  This year, they'd put in a bunch of extra drainage, I'd got a load of new waterproof gear, and - no rain.  (Not complaining, mind.)

    As for "when am I ready?"  You'll never be ready.  It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it.  - pmbomb

    Ahh yes, you cant beat the famous Donnington clay/mud. been covered in the bloody stuff plenty of times :) Sadly, my Festival days are over. I much prefer smaller venue gigs these days.

    If GNR were to slum it a bit and play something like the Brixton Academy, id be there like a shot!
