    Not for awhile they'll want to shift as much weekend passes for now, quick check on their forums and for this years event it was end of March before they went on sale.

    IMO by that stage I'd say it'll transpire whatever act you're venturing for will be playing at a more desirable venue elsewhere.

    It's Maiden so definitely playing a more desirable venue (Belfast) a couple of days after but would like to do both shows. Only those 2 shows around these parts next year so they say.
    They'll probably head off to South America/Asia or somewhere after that.

    Ah right okay i'd imagine there'll be more dates in Europe, it's a quality show saw it twice in 2018 they've hinted there could be a change or two when they do it next year. Out of the times I've seen them Donington 2013 was actually the most underwhelming they even scrapped plans they had of a live release that was planned. I don't believe Download has sold out any of days since about 12 or 13 so I'd be pretty confident you won't need to rush into purchasing anyway.

    Deadly stuff. Yeah did Belfast, Manchester and Birmingham in 2018 and even got to meet them in Manchester as they were in our hotel!! Cousin went to New York to see them in July I think it was so Download will be another great excuse to head across the water to see the tour again!!

    Doubtful you'll get any non camping in the immediate area you'd have to likely travel in from Derby, Long Eaton or Notts. Skylink run services from the airport to those just check their timetables in the case of Derby I'm sure they run DL specific shuttle buses.
