Show Notes
Our Download Festival adventure comes to an end as we look back on an unforgettable final day and reflect on the best festival weekend we've ever experienced.
In this episode, we discuss Spitting Glass, Boundaries, The Plot In You, Bad Omens, Linkin Park and more, relive the chaos of the pit, and talk about Steve's surreal experience joining A Day To Remember on stage. We also reflect on meeting so many members of The Metal Roundup community, the highlights of the weekend, and why Download Festival 2026 is one we'll never forget.
Thanks to everyone who came over to say hello, joined us for the live podcast, or supported us throughout the weekend!
