This episode we move away from talking about Download Festival 2023 and take a look back at 2006. We talk about the absolutely stacked lineup, we remember the bands that we saw and the bands we missed. We also talk about Axl Rose's tiny feet, the Snickers bowl and what heppened with the infamous riots on the Sunday night.
