To help keep everyone safe, our teams are on site carrying out campsite checks to make sure the facilities are in good condition, the water is flowing, and the tents are well spaced and don’t block important walk ways and fire escapes. ✅

Come rain or shine, our staff are working hard to help ensure that the Download Festival is safe and fun for everyone. 🎸🎤🎵

We have a number of colleagues working in and around the festival site over the weekend, carrying out a range of inspections and checks. 👀✅

Today we're out doing sound checks in Castle Donington and Wilson to ensure that noise disruption from the festival in nearby villages is kept to a minimum and that levels are below the agreed limits as part of our licensing of the festival. 🔉🔊

This involves test music being played in the main festival arena, and we use specialist equipment to check that it is within the correct levels.
