The LoadDown Podcast

Now Mike and Jonny have calmed down from the incredible announcement last week, they start to talk in detail about the lineup with this week focusing on the main logo bands (Part 1). As well as the usual unholy confessions, Music news, and a special shoutout to the Disabled Camp and Access group.

We made it, it's announcement day! In episode 7 we do a live reaction to the download festival 2025 lineup with a helping hand from Mikes sister and our best mate Kate! Enjoy

This week we look at the unique story of Jesna (735ART) who travelled nearly 8,000 miles to be part of the Download family.

Jesna's journey from a remote village in Bali, Indonesia to be part of the sell out crowd in 2023 is unlike anything we've ever had the honour of being part of, and his retelling of his experience of the festival is truly not to be missed.

In Episode 4; Mike and Jonny discuss the latest Download Festival announcement news, talk about what add on packages are available for Download in 2025, and chat through the random campsite shenanigans with the usual help from across the Download family.

In Episode 3; Mike and Jonny take on the Download Prediction Penalty shootout. Where by requests from the download community, they try to take an educated guess at who will be the "Logo bands" for 2025. After the amazing contributions and engagement from the previous episodes, they also continue with stories, tales and funny moments captured by the download family in the regular segment "Unholy Confessions".

Jonny and Mike reflect on the surprising week since releasing the podcast, now sitting at number 6 in the UK Podcast Music Charts! They talk about what Download Festival is and why it means so much to them. They turn to the Download Family to ask why people go to Download in the first place and why they keep coming back every year. There's also some information about ticket options for those that aren't familiar. Listen out for some funny and embarrassing stories in a new segment we like to call "Unholy Confessions".

Welcome to the LoadDown Podcast! In this first episode, best mates and Download Festival regulars Mike and Jonny discuss who they think is in the running to headline Download Festival 2025; They also chat about the latest goings on with the Foo Fighters, and Mike becomes the first person to mix up Boston and Linkin Park!
