A 10,000 capacity, camping-only version of Download Festival will be held next month as the UK’s government moves to stage two of its Events Research Programme; moshing is very much encouraged.
It’s announced just as promising data has begun to emerge from the first trials which were held recently at Sefton Park in Liverpool, trials the city’s public health director has described as ‘undoubtedly a success’ – words echoed by the organiser of this event and those Sefton Park ones, Melvin Benn.
“Following the huge success of our Sefton Park event, we are delighted to contribute to Phase II of the Government’s Events Research Programme with the creation of the first three-day camping festival which will be the Download Pilot at Donington Park,” he says.
