Download Festival 2024 Review. Download festival is one of my favourite events of the year, and 2024's iteration was no different, despite the weather! Two days of music down, one to go, and once more download festival 2024 finds itself with problems from the beginning, delaying the opening of the arena for an hour to allow.

The morning after the night before and, as download festival 2024 opens for saturday, the arena sees a fresh coating of straw in an attempt to combat the mud and a full day of music on the horizon. The uk’s biggest alternative festival, download, returns to the hallowed grounds of donington for yet another year.
