POV : I Went To Download Festival (On my own!)

[@ThePOVDJ]

Apologies for the quality on this one. For some reason, because I used a few 1080p clips from my phone in with the 4k stuff from the GoPro, the end result rendered out a bit blocky and compressed and I didn't have time to dive in too deep to figure out why 🤔 But thanks for watching everybody, hope you enjoyed Download from my POV, and hello to all the new subscribers! 😊

Fall out boy was an absolute highlight for me. Being in that crowd with my friends, with all our aging bones and fucked backs. Suddenly we’re all 15 years younger again and having the time of our lives. You can’t beat it. We saw way less bands this year too, the mud just made it too difficult to get anywhere quickly.

[@ThePOVDJ]

Yep! Me and my bad back relived our youth together that night 😄 Right about the mud. Just made it so hard to get around 😔

[@ridezeshoopuf5430]

Great to see a video of download without all of the usual yapping! Means you can really take in the sounds and sights when watching, and the POV style is great too.

[@ThePOVDJ]

Appreciate it, thanks! 😊

[@Swindondruid2]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I didn't go this year - didn't fancy the line up and was put of by the chaos of 2023. Worst organised festival I have been to. Glad you had a great time.

[@TheDeathJesters1337]

NO DRONE ZONE! NO DRONE ZONE! NO DRONE ZONE! Been hearing that in my sleep since i got home :D

[@ThePOVDJ]

SAME 😄 think I could pretty much recite it after hearing it on loop for an hour!

[@hydraV1-c7d]

me and my mate were like , its gotta be on a recording .... then the voice changed over and we was like poor bastard probably be wishing for a drone strike about now :D

[@davidbrittain8459]

Stumbled on this video on my feed. I’ve done day only last two years on my own. Doing the weekend next year on my own …. Bit daunting leaving the wife and son at home and being at a festival on my own but what’s the worst that’s gonna happen….have fun and watch some sick bands 👍👍

[@ThePOVDJ]

That was exactly what I thought. Life's too short not to have adventures! 😁

[@donnieanddad2012]

That playlist 👍🏻 haven’t heard The Academy Is… in a minute. Also saw Silverstein several times almost 20 years ago…great band.

[@donnieanddad2012]

42:58 memories of listening to Keep Em Separated in parking lots drinking beers we stole from our older brothers. That was the summer of high school graduation 30 years ago!!!

[@MaidenFan1]

Twice when Maiden headlined I went on my own I camped for both times arriving on the Friday left on the Monday morning dude I had a blast the people are so friendly and helpful both times muck and everything the both times lads helped me put up my tent if I wanted to go to see certain bands they made sure my tent was safe everything in it all it cost me was a box of beer well I did it because I was so grateful for their help I made so much friends to thanks for bringing back great memories 👍

[@terrygilchrist3145]

This is great. Loved this perspective, its been a good few years since my last download. Good stuff

[@ThePOVDJ]

Thank you 😊

[@alexdavies7112]

Interesting perspective! I really enjoyed the POV

[@ThePOVDJ]

Thanks Alex! I'm a DJ in my everyday life so if you stick around or check out some of my other videos you'll get to see more POV perspective from weddings, events and other gigs 😊

[@mattscfc849]

Great video, I’ve always wanted to go to download, I just couldn’t do it on my own. Suffering from mental health it kinda puts me off. I’d love the missus to come but it’s completely not her thing, which I respect. I’m hoping one day I can get there as it’s only 40 mins away from where I live. Btw I’ve subbed

[@ThePOVDJ]

Nice to have a new sub Matt, appreciate it 😊

[@0owmjapo0]

I feel stupid. Never really thought of big festivals like this having security check points haha. Makes sense though

[@masterswinger850]

thats why i hate commercial festivals. the hole vibe is getting lost...

[@Bunnymoonstone]

i love your style of filming! nice job :) love the offspring and fall out boy

[@ThePOVDJ]

You're the first person to comment about that, thanks! You've made my day 😊

[@MastodonMart]

Nice video. Love the pov aspect.

[@ThePOVDJ]

Thanks 😁

[@adieshady5248]

Agree I think Frank Carter was the best set as well

[@ThePOVDJ]

Great fun!

[@ktay7382]

Great 👌

[@ThePOVDJ]

Thanks ✌️

[@Mazza134]

Lol saw me and my mates in the video as you approached bambie thug xD

[@ThePOVDJ]

The moment just before we all got absolutely DRENCHED 😅

[@shaynecook8]

Great video should of watched pantera

[@ThePOVDJ]

I knowwww I'm sad I missed them, but I was absolutely done in by that point and couldn't face another trip across the mud to get that side of the site 😄

[@blokeofkent82]

how do you go a whole weekend without singing or jumping?

[@ThePOVDJ]

Used up all my energy on ya mum

[@blokeofkent82]

@@ThePOVDJ wow il let my 70 yr old mum who has Alzheimer's that she wore you out, might want to take some vitamins incase you flake out

[@Airtrooper719]

19:12 thats Wargasm

[@ThePOVDJ]

I thought it might be! I was trying to work back through the timeline based on when I got that clip. I thought it was later than it was 😄 I caught a bit of Wargasm from afar while they were on. They're badass aren't they. Been streaming their top tracks all last week 🤘🏼

[@Airtrooper719]

​@@ThePOVDJ​@ThePOVDJ Yeah I swung by to see them for a couple, I didn't stay for the full show because I'm already going to see them open for Korn in August but very good from what I seen 🤘

[@ThePOVDJ]

@Airtrooper719 nice! Enjoy Korn. Saw them a few years back in Manchester with Limp Bizkit on support, they're still sick 🔥

[@Airtrooper719]

@@ThePOVDJ Nice!

You need to spend the whole weekend on your own, i go to Bloodstock every year on my own it's a top festival.

[@ThePOVDJ]

Maybe next year, this was a bit of a last minute thing for my birthday 😄

[@VRCore.]

@@ThePOVDJ I like the style of video i might do something similar next year are you using a Go Pro?

[@ThePOVDJ]

@VRCore. Yep! Check the description, there's lots of info in there including some tech specs 👊🏼

@@ThePOVDJ Nice one mate 👊🤘

[@marksherwood529]

I was there too. Great vlog. Enjoyed watching the moments back. Hope you had an ace time 🤘

[@ThePOVDJ]

Oh nice, thanks for commenting 😁 Who was your favourite artist you saw?

[@kevinkthedj]

[@JefferBruh]

Loved the video mate! Keep up the great work! Where can I get your powerbank?
