2015.06.13 - Download Festival, Derby, UK

Or they'll start with Dead Star, Fury, Assassin....then whip out Madness, before vanishing in a hail of bottled urine....

 

If they have sense this will be the heaviest of heavy Muse sets

[DifferentPerson 10]

If they have sense

 

See, there's the problem...

[forevermusic 10]

TIRO and Starlight have been played on Kerrang and been included in polls for their top tracks of the year, so I think those two are likelier than not to be played. It's tracks like Madness and Dead Inside that are probably bad ideas.

[DifferentPerson 10]

I reckon the Download setlist will be something like this:

 

1. Psycho
   
2. Muscle Museum
   
3. Bliss
   
4. Dead Star
   
5. Time Is Running Out
   
6. Interlude + Hysteria
   
7. Stockholm Syndrome
   
8. Assassin
   
9. Supermassive Black Hole
   
10. Dead Inside
    
11. Plug In Baby
    
12. Defector
    
13. Unnatural Selection
    
14. Uprising
    
15. Reapers
    ---
    
16. Supremacy
    
17. Starlight
    
18. Knights of Cydonia

I sincerely hope they don't blow their load in the first four tracks like that...

Anyone got a good idea on how to get there for the day from Manchester?

 

Id really like some advice and where would be good to get a hotel too as I'll have to stay over on the Saturday

 

Cheers!

By public transport:

 

- Take the train to Derby (via Sheffield). There are shuttle buses to the site from Derby according to the festival website

 

Hotels (the following towns are all accessible by public transport from East Midlands airport at night):

 

- Derby

- Nottingham

- Loughborough

- Leicester

 

Nottingham has direct trains to Manchester. The other 3 require changes of trains at Sheffield.

 

Loughborough is closest to the site by taxi/bus.

Right well I've finally saved up enough money and bought a Saturday day ticket. My only issue is that ticketmaster refuses to deliver the tickets to anywhere but the billing address, except I'm not going to be there. I've put in a request to change the delivery address but we'll see how they respond to that. If not I'm going to have to rely on my brother or somebody to send the tickets on to me.

[Tobiiiaaas 10]

Well just heard back from ticketmaster, they've allowed my change in address so crisis averted!

[scottST 11]

.mu meetup before Muse start?

[colonizedmind 10]

Good news! "Muse confirm they'll play heavier stuff at download" right from Chris's mouth!

My ticket just arrived

[MUFC 10]

Mine came today!

[apoco123 10]

I quick question, I only got the ticket for the saturday and I plan on driving. I don't fancy driving back on the same day/night as I'm coming from Merthyr, so wondered are people with day tickets actually allowed to camp for the one night?

[trogette 18]

Just asking a mate who goes every year, the camping areas are separate, and the marshalls check wristbands, if you don't have a camping wristband you can't camp.

I'm driving back down here after Muse, fun times!

[trogette 18]

if I was driving more than an hour home I'd probably grab an hour's kip in a services somewhere...

Ah thanks!

 

The way Reading Fest is setup I probably could have got away with camping for the night, but I've never been to Download before so no idea who it works, thanks anyway.

 

I may just resort to sleeping in the car overnight at the car park.

[Destroya 10]

Always hate these kinds of articles but I have to admit that Guiding Light at the bottom made me laugh! http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/eight-songs-wed-love-see-9290139

 

inb4 Clunge or some other person with some large pink text saying LOL!

'Because it would just be hilarious.' :LOL:

That looks like it's been written by a boardie, almost, what with the missing pedal thing.

It was.

 

EDIT: A former boardie anyway. He doesn't post anymore.

[trogette 18]

ah, well there you go then :-)

[Jobby 57]

I reckon TSP's definitely a possibility. They soundchecked it a couple of times at the Mayan and they're aware some fans have requested it.

 

I'd be more than happy with TSP, CE and Assassin as the rarities. Not too fussed about CE but TSP would be great fun and Assassin would make my life. Hyper Music and Dead Star would probably fit the festival as well but I dunno how rarity-mad they're thinking of going with set so I'm trying to keep my expectations low.
