This episode we go back 17 years to take a look at Download Festival 2008. We discuss the memories we have and the bands we saw, and read out some stories from some of the band members, as well as some of our listeners memories too.

To be a part of the exclusive Dear Download podfest 2025 t-shirts join up to the patreon here.
