Bambie Thug's and Polyphia's sets were surely bigger moments than the first UK appearance in 20 years of one of the most influential band in metal history
I was near the barricade for Bambie Thug, they were amazing! my dad was farther away getting a beer lol but he said he enjoyed them as well

People are moaning about the wrong things with this download, serious investigation needs ongoing into the food vendors this year, security have had every accusation leveled at them and the lack of preparation was awful, the weather was better than 2016, but the management was worse

Only went for Sunday and I thought the organisation was dreadful, can’t blame the security or stewards but they knew absolutely nothing about what was going on or where anything was. We got two stewards arguing with each other over a simple question.

Funny how it's 'cool' to like/listen/talk about these bands now. People are so fickle, it's sickening.
Music was amazing but staffing and management both were crap. Leaving people unable to get in or out of the arena at a festival that big is an absolute joke.

Headliners were pretty lame tbh - no effort in the theatrical stage. QOTSA were good but not exciting as stage presence/lights etc Sevenfold played new stuff and lost interest. Limp Biz OWNED this year! Not a fan of Fall Out Boy but apparently they had the best visuals and crowd interaction.
Not one fucking mention of Panteras first UK show in 20yrs. Shameful

The (most of) workers were lame as f*** the amount of areas with no Signs and one worker to the next couldn’t get anything right. The arena running out of drinks people getting food poisoning it was my first time and I enjoyed the bands (with ones I could see) the avalanche stage was a damn joke… the toilets were diabolical
Avenged sevenfold where shocking really disappointed
The mere fact that Busted featured in the line up only proves what a yearly joke this festival is,every year without fail..Pop Punk Lite/Faux Punk/Metal Lite for teenagers...it`s a miracle if you can spot anyone over 18 at this yearly shite fest,i`m surprised The Darkness/Steel Panther or any of the other comedy/novelty acts didn`t show up.
Bambi Thug….what’s the point ffs??? This is what Download has become!!
Who was pissed with the secret set
Avenged Sevenfold were incredibly underwhelming. Their latest album is awful, and finishing on it was a bad decision in my opinion. I’ve never seen so many people leave half way through a headliner either. Didn’t hear a single positive comment from anyone on the way back to camp.
Avenged set was meh thank god they played a few old songs to just about save it.there newer few albums just dont anything for me and i guess a lot ofothwr people too.there just boring live there new stuff.and there production was crap imo the use of live ai wasnt great apart from nightmare.
Fallout boys set: as amazing as described in the video. A7X's set: Looked like they got off of the plane and had lost their luggage, wearing their comfiest clothes, unable to see the stage past their low budget effects on the screens (not that there was anything to see on the stage anyway) and playing 6 songs from their most recent, luke warmly received album. Queens of the stone age: they did what they do and what they do is good.
