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.

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 RUclips 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...
🤘🏻
Man Gaz is a saint. I passed out on some sofas at 2000 Trees under the influence of a lot of different things one year and woke up to him sitting opposite me, he’d sat there to keep an eye on me. Never met him before. An angel.
Top fella!!! Hahaha
He definitely goes above and beyond for people. And by far one of the most genuine in our little scene, 100MPH all the time!! I love him! 🤘🏻😎🖤
@@billymayhem the man just doesn’t stop.
Cannot wait for this year. My first year back since pilot.
also nice to see some Ashford representation!
Love it… “we’re simple, and drunk, and f🤬ed up!” 😂😂😂
It's Honest if nothing else right?
😂🤘🏻
Yes mate. Been looking forward to this.
Honestly mate this one was a challenge as there was a choice between Shit Music & Overpriced CANNED beer... So Everyone was so pissed about the traffic the whole crowd vibe was off.
That said
The next few Videos are where it actually Gets good!!! 😏🤘🏻
1:14 when you say i want that...theres my white van behind the red car in the background..awesome vlog buddy
😂🤘🏻
Maybe I wanted the Van? Who knows haha
@billymayhem haha..I'll swap it for your mustang!
@@sidstewart7399
😂
I guarantee your Van will be more reliable than my shit heap!!! It's literally always broken!! Haha
i got so jealous when you said it was midnight-ish. at that point we had just gotten to our campsite and hadn’t yet begun to set up our tent. we were among the lucky ones stuck in traffic on our coach for 9.5 hours. and then had to walk from the coach drop off at the west entrance all the way to camping plus with no trolley 😬
That sounds absolutely awful!!!
The party atmosphere would be totally shattered and you've already lost a day 😒
Really feel for you guys, that should never happen!!!
What was it like finding a tent space that late? Were the staff actually helping you?
@@billymayhem the staff on the way to camping plus were not the brightest and sent us in the wrong direction twice 🤦🏼♀️ once we got in they were cool. the site was already pretty packed by the time we got in, and because it was so late (and most people were down in the village or sleeping) security told us it was cool if we set up for the night in the fire lane so we could sleep but would have to move in the morning. tons of others did the same thing. we got really lucky and in the morning a few groups right across the fire lane from us upped stakes and moved apart enough for us to squeeze in between the 3 of them. we found out thursday evening that they oversold camping plus by a good amount and actually started turning people away that afternoon. we were able to shake it off and still have a great time, though 😃 it was our first DL and we flew all the way from the US, so no way was i going to let anything ruin it for me.
I absolutely LOVE your attitude towards that situation! I know very few people who would have been able to remain that positive throughout while being consistently let down.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that on your first Download! I have only missed 2 since 2006 and this was by far the absolute worst for organisation, so I'm really hopeful it will go back to normal/ heavily improve next year.
🤘🏻
@@billymayhem i’m hoping next year will be better, because i’m definitely going back again 😃
@@psychobetha omg somebody else who also got sent in the wrong direction twice! I was in camping plus too, somehow was super lucky cause our coach was only 45 minutes later than expected. I remember getting back from the village at 3am and all the tents in the fire lane, after security told us we couldn't even sit there with our chairs lol, I could barely get in my tent there was so many. Overheard them saying it was oversold. The walk killed my feet and they've still not recovered haha. But I'm the same as you, first download and wasn't letting anything spoil it. Glad you had a good time anyway!
ALSO MAD We didn't have our grass skate competition haha
I can't wait to make sure this happens!!!
It'll be the worst game of Skate of all time!!
🤘🏻😂🍻
Paaaaaaaart 2 long walks to the beer tent at £10 a pint? A guess. Who was pulling that cart? Come on man :)
🤘🏻😂🤘🏻
Honestly the night life was so bad!!!
But I had to show how little there was to do!
Crap DJs and massive DJ change over times which at something like this, a 5 minute break with nothing should never happen!
I miss walking 😭
😂
In no time at all, we'll be at Bloodstock moaning about something else! Haha
Will you be able to get into see a bit of Motley Crue on Friday? or locked in the box out front? That's going to be mad!!! 🤘🏻
