I did Download in '06 and '07, avoided it like the plague this year however.
Like PatrickCousens, I think Reading looks very good this year, just a shame I couldn't get a ticket for it.
I'm hoping to head off to Bloodstock Open Air in mid-August (15th-17th) as that looks right up my alley; Nightwish, Opeth and Dimmu Borgir are three of the major bands playing, along with Soilwork, As I Lay Dying and Evile. And the tickets are only £85.
