Watching this in January and it's getting me absolutely pumped for 2023, can't wait!! It's also funny seeing where you were in the crowds and remembering where I was, haha! Brings back the memories, get us to the field already.. 🤘
Playing Download for the first time and also attending it for the first time and I'm shitting myself cause I have no clue what to expect. This video made me feel so much nicer so thank you! 🖤
50:26 Love your speech about KoRn and how they haven't headlined download. Exactly how I feel. This was my first download and KoRn have been my favourite band since I found them like 15 years ago. Baffles the heck out of me they were runners up to Biffy Fuckin Clyro... I was right near the front for KoRn, was the craziest crowd at the festival, people were loving it. Let's hope next year they get it right and let KoRn headline before they get too old or band members leave or something (Fieldy the bassist is currently on a break but not technically left the band, rest of members there).
Great vlog. There was something special about download this year. Malevolence stole the show for me this year, but Sleep Token, Skindred and Loathe were all incredible as well, which is to be expected. Can’t help but feel all the people complaining about Biffy wouldn’t have had as many complaints had they stayed to watch them though as the boys were once again incredible.
Thanks for letting me join you this year man I had a blast! Got some txts off some friends who have been listening to the podcast (ones I haven’t even told about it 😂) and also sent some a link to the vlog. 🤘 here’s to download festival 🍻
Great video, seem like you had a blast. Good to see chidzvidz and dilcam in there. All headliners seemed great, i we there for biffy right at th front and they put on a hell of a show but for some reason the download crowd ain’t feeling them; thier loss. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Really awesome vlog mate! Didn't bump into you though we stayed at green camp! highlights of the festival Kiss, Volbeat, Shinedown, Rise against, Biffy and Korn :D We were right at the front left for biffy, they had some beautiful mosh pits Kiss was far the best though! Iron maiden were shite :/
I loved Download 22 , the weather was fantastic , All the greats were still great , Kiss, Maiden , Korn , Volbeat , Steel Panther Loved Tremonti, Kris Barras, Black Label Society. Only disappointments were Funeral for a Friend, the sound was shit, and Biffy, their set list was odd, I’ve seen them twice at Download and really liked them before , just didn’t feel it this time.
Nice vlog. Was at the front for Biffy and just before they started I was cringing for them the crowd was so sparse. Then Steel Panther finished and it filled right in. You seem to have been quite close to me at some points, surprised I never saw you. Maybe Bloodstock.
@@simon_bond yeah agree. I think people would have watched them on friday but on sunday they're not enough of a draw to keep tired revellers from going home. Shame as it was an excellent show.
Loved every minute of the weekend. Unfortunately didn’t get to see Funeral for a Friend or Biffy cause I was knackered, but Korn made up for every miss. They were the best band of the weekend. Least favourite band of the weekend was Rise Against. I thought every song sounded exactly the same, though I’m sure I’m in the minority. 😅

Sat watching this at 3:30AM because I'm SO hyped about going to Download next year.
so buzzing, cant wait for this next announcement
Playing Download for the first time and also attending it for the first time and I'm shitting myself cause I have no clue what to expect. This video made me feel so much nicer so thank you! 🖤
Im so happy you got my wedding in it! You're a legend! Thanks again for coming to it!
Thanks for having us dude, it was amazing! Hi me if the coolest things I’ve seen at Download 🤘🏻
Lol I just passed that bit. Congratulations both. Freaking awsome! 😅
Awesome vlog dude. Getting me hyped for 2023. I have to agree 2022 was epic, I may even bump into you 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Your videos are great and looking forward to our first Download festival in 2023!
The Download blues still exist for sure, absolutely amazing vlog!
Weirdly I’ve only stared to get them this week 😳
@@simon_bond That’s insane! 😂 I had them for ages after it ended but now I’m just looking ahead to next year 😆

After that I’m almost sure Korn will headline at some point, would be amazing with full pyro 🔥🔥
Just got my 2023 ticket. First download in over a decade, first time away without the mrs and kids. Going to be carnage!
Next year will be madness with the four days of music, can’t wait!!!
Cheers Simon great VLOG and yip Download 2022 was fantastic. So many great bands and Up The Irons - GMaN
Was such a sick year, that weather was bless 🤘🏻

@@simon_bond it was my friend that was watching and sent it to me 🤣 brilliant
As somewhat of a Download vlog connoisseur, I really appreciated the chidzvidz crossover 😂
Hahahaha, thanks we enjoyed it to, Vlog metaverve
Great video, seem like you had a blast. Good to see chidzvidz and dilcam in there. All headliners seemed great, i we there for biffy right at th front and they put on a hell of a show but for some reason the download crowd ain’t feeling them; thier loss. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Us Download vloggers got to stick together 😂
Really awesome vlog mate! Didn't bump into you though we stayed at green camp!
highlights of the festival Kiss, Volbeat, Shinedown, Rise against, Biffy and Korn :D
We were right at the front left for biffy, they had some beautiful mosh pits
Kiss was far the best though! Iron maiden were shite :/
I was at that section for biffy. Was fucking wonderful.
Was my first download and i fuckin loved it, everyone was really wholesome and i appreciate your tips i used em for packing :)
This was a great first download!!! You got treated with the weather 🔥🤘🏻
Great video! Odd question - was that Cheltenham at the start? Looked like Hatherley Asda and the big Tesco near town!
yeah, I live in Cheltenham lol
@@simon_bond ayyy Local gang 🤟🏻
Watching Feb 8th 2023 in prep for this year… Is the co-op any good? Stocked up and prices?
Thanks for the video Simon, hope you are well 🤘
I'm good dude, just super sunburnt hahahaha.
@@simon_bond 👍🤘
Hi mate, loved the video, are you doing Bloodstock this year?
Yeah man! Buzzing for for Bloodstock
@@simon_bond good times! If I see you and come over to say hi, apologies in advance if I go all fan girl mode haha
I loved Download 22 , the weather was fantastic , All the greats were still great , Kiss, Maiden , Korn , Volbeat , Steel Panther

I definitely agree about Funeral for a Friend I found that almost everything in the avalanche stage didn’t sound as good.
Nice vlog. Was at the front for Biffy and just before they started I was cringing for them the crowd was so sparse. Then Steel Panther finished and it filled right in. You seem to have been quite close to me at some points, surprised I never saw you. Maybe Bloodstock.
I always feel sorry for Biffy, the download community in general just isn’t up for them, great band IMO 🤘🏻
@@simon_bond yeah agree. I think people would have watched them on friday but on sunday they're not enough of a draw to keep tired revellers from going home. Shame as it was an excellent show.

Korn get better every time I see them, it’s crazy 🤘🏻
im gonna have to go next year 2024 bring it on first time in attending any advice
did Blue fill up over the weekend?
Nope, was half empty 😬
Look Ma I'm on TV!
Crazy to think I was basically stood next to you for Sleep Token and Kiss 😂 also can anyone tell me the song that’s playing @ 38:33?!
Hahaha, no way! Good positioning 😂 I have no idea what that song is lol
@@simon_bond it took me nearly 3 days to find out what it was, it's Bully by Shinedown! haha
When was your first download?
2005! So long ago lol
FUCKING FINALLY!!!!! Love your videos Simon
Thanks dude, much appreciated.
Ah man you came into the co-op when I was working. It was my fault we had the the presidents of the USA playing 😂😂😂
Hahaha yes! Co-op is pure good vibes
What campsite was that mate?
Blue camp dude
Your gf has a little bit of an accent? What's that/where she from?
Gloucestershire 😂😂😂
U kinda look like Matthew tuck lol 😅
That’s a huge compliment! Thanks for watching 🤘🏻
10:51 you might see an empty field....I see a field of a *dreams* 🦄🌈🔮✨️
