This episode we talk about RIP packages at Download Festival and what to expect. We also have an amazing chat with two guests Kev and Gareth. Kev has done RIP from 2018 onwards and shows us some cool merch that he has received, and Gareth did 2005-2009 and tells us about how he wound up drinking on the main stage unsupervised with friends after midnight. Just a couple of highlights of an amazing hour long chat we had with them.

This episode we revisit Download Festival 2005. This was Simons first year so we talk about the awe that he was in, we run through the bands that we saw (or probably saw it was a long time ago), Trivium with their monumentous set opening the main stage on Saturday and also how great blueberries are on pizza! We also had a very successful return of campsite fuckery with many many stories!
