There’s still a day of Download left, but finding the energy for it is another matter.
Neill Wilkinson, Arran Prime and Rob Hemingway settle onto the grass in the guest area for Festpod 92, recorded on Sunday at Download Festival 2026. Rob’s been out for Modestep and a late-night trip to the fun house. Now we’re weighing up the bands we want to see against the very tempting thought of our own beds.
We look back at Architects’ interrupted set, The All-American Rejects, and Self Deception’s crowd antics with RockFit. There’s also a quick reaction to Private School before the we turn to Sunday’s choices, including Scooter, Ice Nine Kills, A Day To Remember, Bad Omens and letlive.
Then the question of what to do when you spot a musical hero. Do you say hello, or leave the magic alone? We talk about anonymity, being a fan and the catch-ups that make the guest area feel like a festival reunion.
Come and spend half an hour in the field with us. What was your highlight of Download 2026?
