Download Festival - RIP vs General

[@neils5737]

I did Sleepy Hollow this year and I'm back there next year too. Having areas you can retreat back to(especially Park Farm) for a rest and chillout made it worthwhile for me. Early bird tickets were up at 650 but they lasted all of 2 mins before they went up to the current price.

Done Park Farm in 2018 for the first time. Don’t think I could do General again now. But it has meant missing a few Downloads since as couldn’t afford it. Got my Park Farm ticket for 2025 though. Can’t wait for BOA this year, line up is 🔥

Doing RIP for the first time in 2025 and can’t wait! Me and my other half have been going for years and never done it before so we are excited for the change 🤘🏻

Great vid! We’ve done RIP for the last few years and honestly, for us, it’s the only way 😂

Having just watched the rip vid from last year and now this, I’ll deffo be sampling a bit of sleepy hollow soon. Nice one.

What determines which camp you'll be in? Does your camp colour get assigned closer to the time?

[@SMTV__]

It’s completely up to you where you camp in general. If you want to go to blue, and there’s spaces, you camp in blue. If you want to camp in yellow, and there’s spaces, you camp in yellow etc.

@@SMTV__ Oh sweet I had no idea. I've only been to Download once and its was DL20 but we didn't camp. I've got a full 5 day camping ticket for next year though! So excited for it

[@Richbecks1]

Great video, il stick to general next year

[@lexdavies3656]

I did camping plus this year, well worth the extra over general camping with the toilets and proper showers. Also 24/7 food stall on site. Walking distance wasn’t bad either. Was looking at RIP for next year, not sure if it’s worth it over camping plus

[@SMTV__]

Sounds good! May need to check out camping plus 🤔

[@loverunloveflorida]

RIP is totally worth it, after the first time we did it we have never looked back

[@jeremydomis]

Mate, I did General in 2018 and 2019, then RIP in 2022 and 2023 and back at general this year and honestly.... if it wasn't for the money I'd be back at RIP 200%! Distance, parking, shower/toilettes, glass bottles, pitch size, gigs on the night before... I don't see anything really better in General... but I guess it'll be general again in 2025. Not that I can't afford it, but the Mrs... well.... yeah... the Mrs...

An hour walk 😂😂😂😂 milk it why don't you. Tells me you're very unfit, so that comment is very subjective
