It is now just over a week until festival season kicks off.
I find myself feeling varying levels of excitement and nerves. I feel them
every year but this year it is more noticeable. I guess it is because I am
doing a new foreign festival by myself this year. I’m sure I’ll be fine, but
you never know! Anyway, first up on the festival calendar is Download and I
have nerves about this festival because it is the first time going for the
weekend since 2007. The festival has changed a lot since then. I am sure I will
be fine but because it is essentially a new experience, it is causing me some
concern. Doing Wacken in the past has spoiled me as I want running times up
earlier than a week before the festival, accepting that they could change at
any point. I find myself getting impatient, which is exactly why I am writing
this blog. I’m not attacking the festival or its organisers at all; this is
just to satisfy my own impatience. This is my latest guess at stage times for
Download 2012. These are somewhat based around the times for 2011 with some
changes where changes have needed to be made. I have no idea if these are
right, but whatever. Kept me entertained for a few hours!

I’m not too sad about missing Megadeth over the course of
the weekend as I’ll see them headlining Hellfest the week after. Much the same
with Dropkick Murphys I think. However that one is still up in the air. If I
can’t be bothered to see Soundgarden for whatever reason, then I’ll see
Dropkicks (or Hawkeyes). As for Black Spiders and Devildriver clash, I’m
leaning as of this writing towards Devildriver but I fully suspect to see all
of Spiders. Mostly because Devildriver are at Hellfest but if I have the energy
after Download then I’ll go see them headline in Soton.
Anyway that is all I have on the Download front for now. I
will likely post my actual running order when the times are released Friday
(and try and do a comparison between my guess and the reality). As for future
blogs? Well there will be a GnR review up sometime after Wednesday (might even
type it on the way home) and a Ginger Wildheart review as well. Download and
Hellfest reviews will likely be towards the end of June.
