We thought exactly the same thing, so, for the past 3 years we've been to Groezrock in Belgium. (I know it's a punk festival but next year we're doing Groezrock and Grasspop.) All costs including tickets, ferries, petrol, food are cheaper than a Download ticket alone. The entire trip would be except i like to buy lots of merch and vinyl from the markets. :D It's stupid that Download is so close yet 5 days in a different country is cheaper.

Got a ticket for Bloodstock this morning... now that's a real metal festival...

doesn;t look like it.

They had a "tv" button on their website up until last week but that disapeared at the start of the week, so I guess they aren't doing it.

Pity they aren't doing streaming. I really want to see how stupid the new festival layout is!

Bloodstocks lin-up has improved quite a bit. I'm toying with the idea of going there again
