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 in addition to the 3 day full music event weekend, the ‘Entertainment Zone’ housing 50,000 campers, cinema, gaming and extreme sports will be open 24 hours a day from the preceding Wednesday to the Monday after the festival.
