In this little series of upcoming Videos I have tried to show what a FULL Download Festival experience is like (in 30°c heat) from Start to finish. I'll be posting 1 video a day at 6PM until we are out of footage & these will be "Premieres" so we'll have a Livechat along the way if thats your thing & yes it's really me typing! ha!😎🤘🏻
- No Faked footage!! All opinions are real & I turned down some amazing sponsors for these to keep it unchanged & as real as we actually are. 🤘🏻
- Anything you want to contact me about privately/not in the comments my Instagram is @Billymayhem
-Thanks for reading this & Watching! It means a lot to our little group of craziness that you'd come up at the festival & say Hi or whatever we all chatted about. We are all real approachable people! 😂 We all exist in real life & you'll never be tuned away. Really appreciate the feedback!
🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
If you have your own Festival Vlog (Or know of any others) Please feel free to drop a link in the comments!!! I absolutely love checking these out! Especially those who have different opinions, use different campsites and see different bands!
Below is a copy & paste of the quick Festival review I posted when we got back.

🤘🏻Download Festival 2023🤘🏻
Well that was a Hot one eh!?
A few Ups n Downs
Obviously It was fantastic catching up with all of you! I missed a few (not personal) & we all know how bad the signal is there.
But TBH the social side is probably the best bit about this one for me! & I'm absolutely amazed at the TH-cam feedback! I'm literally filming us doing the dumb crap we'd be doing anyways n always have! Only now you don't doubt it 😂
Band wise personally
Good
Metallica ×2 - Same as always!
Slipknot - Clown was there after all? & Some new stuff!
Electric Callboy - Tiny stage though and rammed!
Avatar!!! - Short set
VV - Hearing that takes me back & makes me feel old!
Bad
Asking Alexandria!!! - So many Vocal tracks/effects he didn't know what to sing too, it was poor. - & I'm gutted about that...
Bring me the Horizon ^^^ But they definitely have committed fans that ignore it! & did deserve the headline regardless of my opinion!
Festival itself
7/10
Organisation was utterly Shit!!
Way to Many people!! Oversold & massive queues for not enough facilities.
Not enough Toilets, Bars, Water points, shady areas, polite educated staff & unless you queue up for ages the food you actually want?
But yeah
- I know I'm late to the Party posting these few Pics and will be even longer posting the Vlogs, as:
1. It took us 12 HOURS to drive home on our anniversary yesterday!!! We sat in the car park for 3+ Hours & Had that mad diversion on the M1. UGH!!! But yeah it was exactly the same thing getting into the place 3/5 hours for some people!
2. We are on the biggest comedown of all time struggling to pack for Graspop (Belgium) to which I will be Driving us to tomorrow
3. It is Ruby Miranda Birthday today! 🖤
So yeah onto Belgium!!!
We are absolutely shattered!!!
Wish us Luck...
🤘🏻
Another belting video bill as usual bartek your side kick for comedy value and ruby for putting smile back on your face top girl, all the best mate
Thanks so much mate!!!
That's literally us 3 down to a T!!
🥃😂🍻
you and the mighty bartek walking around camp is the highlight of all 6 vids by a mile
😂
At Bloodstock we'd at least have people to party with!!
Everyone goes to bed here!!! 😭
Watching this I found my tastes have gone more varied since growing older, went heavier in my early 20's and now love everything pop, metal, rap, electronic etc. Glad you're enjoying/giving bands of a wider variety a chance and it's good to see honesty, what is missing in a lot of music reviewers/bloggers.
Thanks so much Dude!!!
🤘🏻😎🍻
Honestly we're all up for whatever, as long as the vibe is friendly! It's so easy to meet new people & have a blast living like that ya know! You only live once!!! 🤘🏻
Watching this and seeing the cue for the bar its ridiculous 😮
It really wasn't organised well last year 😒
Getting flashbacks now! Ha
@@billymayhem but its just ridiculous with those gates its like a herd of cows being led to the shed we belgians have to seem beteer luck with ours i also wanna attend hellfest in the furure
@@bassist0803
Absolutely everything about Graspop was better than this!!! The staff at the bars were so polite and friendly where as at DL 90% of the time they will be rude and unfortunately the venders have been caught overcharging people when they pay on card. With the Skully wristband at Graspop you never have to worry about it.
It's literally impossible for us to go back to DL knowing how perfect Belgium was!!!
@@billymayhem come over next month mets have a beer
Thanks for another great Vlog. If you were in Red camp you certainly did a huge amount of walking. It used to be next to the village, but Red is now a long way from anything. The crowd for AA were huge, about three times bigger than the crowd for Within Temptation who were above AA on the bill.
Cheers!!😊
We were all Camped in Orange. But it was a HUGE walk from both the Arena & Village... Ugh...
The AA crowd were so pumped at the start!! And nearly all slowly noticed the same issues we did. It was so sad watching the REAL Die hard fans fade away ya know? That said I've certainly seen worse! - it just stood out.
You two & the tree cracked me up soooo quiet can't believe it 😮
Ran out of stuff to do!!!
😂
If we left the Beer outside the tent we would have stayed up! 🤘🏻
@@billymayhem me too I've done that many times at Boa! 🤘🍺😎
Honestly I can't wait!!!!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I enjoy your vlogs find great relaxing & reminds me of good times!😊
Thanks for watching!!!
Everything comes full circle & good times get better!!! 🤘🏻😎
Absolute pleasure meeting you and bartek at download dude!! Your vlogs are awesome dude keep it up!!
Yes mate!! 😆🤘🏻 Thank you!!
Managed to find our little encounter & get it in one of the Videos! Ha
Really appreciate you checking the vids out!
Was really upset that I was gonna miss Asking Alexandria but I chose Pendulum, kinda glad I did now!
I wish I did the same thing!!!
🤘🏻😔🤘🏻
That walk looks painfully long in that heat! At least at Bloodstock the stages are a lot more compact too I notice. Also, bit too heaving with people! Apologies, I must sound like a moaning old man ahaha!
I felt like all I did was moan the first few days! There were so many oversights and clear errors in how this event was put on it was embarrassing. I edited loads out & still feel like I'm constantly moaning!!! 😂
But yeah, that heat was tough! - we did Graspop straight after and it was hotter!! 🤣 Except they have better measures in place to look after the crowd.
🤘🏻
@@billymayhem ahahah! I wouldnt worry as a few of the other vlogs all say the same thing about it! Too packed, too expensive, and too much walking. I think when they do DL next year they should really have a bit more thinking on how things are run rather than just profit. I've always fancied Grasspop & Hellfest but not had the chance!
EXACTLY THIS!!!
Back to Basics man! The Download Pilot was absolutely fantastic!
Everyone was so thrilled to be there (Including the staff) and it was such a good festival!!!
This one was a shambles...& So many people have voiced concerns perfectly.
Next year has to be different!!!
Ahh cute doggy, looks packed on that day. Sod queuing at bar. I would of seen pendulum! 😊
I WISH we did!!!
😭😭😭😭
@@billymayhem I've seen pendulum live brilliant 🤘
@@HornsMetal
Same!
Seen them a few times now, not for years though!!!
Omg there was a frenchie at download!? How could I miss that!? I’m sorry Asking Alexandria was bad for you! I stayed at the tent and then went to watch Pendulum. Xx
My first thought was Drugs/Bomb dog! 😂
But there was a few dogs around for various reasons this year all with cool chatty owners too.
We tried AA again (sort of) at Graspop...Same thing lol
It will haunt me I missed Pendulum!!
🤘🏻
@@billymayhem haha!! Could well be 😂 yeah there were a lot of dogs in the accessible camp with us which was cool!
Oh no! That sucks!! But at least you know not to watch them again.
Fingers crossed you get another opportunity to watch them! Xx
Adds a new dimension to the festival huh!
Never even knew about it until this year, me being oblivious to everything had only heard of Guide dogs before!
It makes me feel so thick haha
I think it time for bartina cam haha!
It would be broken Instantly!!!
😂🍻
"Lee Lee we've been trying to find you for 10 minutes dude...." Erm Billy it's datk, and you're wearing sunglasses.....
😂
There was numerous times at this festival I'd forget I was even wearing them & put on a second pair!!
@@billymayhem more like beer goggles than sunglasses then ✌️
@@mikejohnson8654
Hahaha!!
2 pairs for £6 have to make the most of them beer goggles!!
Why dose he look thour out the latest all movies
