It's finally here, folks.
It's finally here, folks.
It is always a tough hand putting on a balanced festival lineup that will cater to most punters; one that's got the smaller to mid-tier local talents but also those bigger international acts that will really help draw in the crowds, from both old and younger fans. And that's what organizers have done here for Download Festival's 2018 Australian debut.

This all goes down on Saturday, March 24th at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne. Tickets - $169.90 for general admission, which is a steal all things considered - will go live at 9am AEDT Thursday, November 16th for the 18+ event.
Personally, I am very stoked to see Nails, Hot Water Music, NOFX, Issues and Korn on the bill (even if the latter were always a given). All in all, it's a decent lineup I think! What do you think of the lineup? Did it live up to the hype in your eyes?
