History of the Download Festival, UK:

Stuart Galbraith and Andy coping created the first download festival in 2003. The festival called ‘Monsters of Rock inspired this festival’. ‘Monsters of Rock’ was held from 1980 to 1996. It was very popular among the British. In 2003 they created ‘Download’ as the resurrection of that festival.

They chose the name ‘Download’ for two reasons. First, Download was a very dirty word in the music industry, back then in 2003. And the music Industry considered rock as a rebellious genre. Second, this resurrection of ‘Monsters of Rock’ festival would stay connected with its audience through the internet. The 2003 Download festival tickets had codes on them. These codes allowed the attendees of the festival to download track of the bands performing. They dropped this idea later. Instead, they created an online community through the Download Festival forum. They made a soundboard for the fans and critics. This has become an integral part of the festival. This festival started growing bigger, and the Park circuit was not suitable for the festival anymore. It has moved to places. But in 2005, they moved the festival to its previous venue.

2006 was the first time they mirrored the festival in the Republic of Ireland, as Download Festival of Ireland. 2006 was also the warmest year they celebrated Download.

In 2010, the festival returned to the Donington Park circuit.

The ‘Download TV’ replaced the 2020 festival. It is a 3-day virtual festival showing old performances, unseen interviews, recent performances and more. The online festival started on the same day they announced the festival would take place.
