Download is a music and technology festival showcasing the most cutting-edge high-tech products and experiences drawing an audience uniquely plugged into the latest technology and the hottest musical talent. Created in the UK in 2003, Download has grown to become a huge festival and for the first time Full Headline Sponsorship is available. This is a highly valuable event for reaching the lucrative audience of school leavers, students and 1st jobbers.

The Download Festival was created as a response to the development of this genre of lifestyle and music as the single biggest growth market of recent years amongst the youth demographic.
