Some music by Karl Casey of White Bat Audio
I really like you guys are Goth but also enjoy all kinds of alternative rock and metal music! Love it!
I'm so grateful to you guys for vlogging this. I'm living vicariously through you! ❤
same no way i could afford it lol
Me too 🖤
Samesies!
Hey guys, they do payment plans they have started already plus it’s early bird prices right now. :)
Lol same
Also, you seem so calm and 'goth' on your videos yet you see your true colours when you are home with family at a festival of metal/rock/goths. Lynn is absolutely nutty, love it! xx
This is us when we drink energy drink and Vitamin juice 😂 Usually I film on my days off from Twitch streaming and my other jobs so I’m like a tired zombie 😂 Glad you enjoyed the gremlin energy 🤘
It's such a sad story over Sophie Lancaster. I live near Backup and it was such a shock when this happened and definitely a charity worth supporting, RIP Sophie
I'm familiar with this story, because of Random goth Couple.😢 I'm from the U.S.A. I ordered a shirt. Why are people so cruel and what does it matter what people wear. 😢
Ollie singing to Lynn, MY soul left my body...think I'd shut down if it was me (think I'd implode if Vessel ever did that to me)
Thank you so much for vlogging this experience & taking us along 🙏🏻 imagine it'd be bit of a mission to edit all the footage, very grateful. And you guys look pretty damn good, I'd look so disheveled after Day 2, respect / goals
And they posted the video of it on their UA-cam, Tiktok and Instagram today!!! Freaking outtt!! Not sure how I didn't explode 😂 Love him so much! Conor edited non stop from when we got home until now to finish it!! Thank you 🖤🖤🖤
@Random Goth Couple AH that's freaking awesome!!! I'm going to check it out so excited for you 😁😁😁 really appreciate your videos guys, you always do a great job
@@juanitaj.thanks so much 🖤🖤🖤
@RandomGothCouple I would have passed out tbh, I would have gone total fangirl on his ass! 😂 I love your content, I'm just back from Donegal last week, so it's good to hear the Irish accent again! ❤ You guys rock 🤘xxx
You two looked awesome! Conor, you never looked better in your black and the sunglasses. And Lynn rocking pink! This looks like an amazing event. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
P.S. get some electrolytes / Gatoraaaade in you to help with any sun stroke
I could hear download festival at home and school!!!
Do you live not too far from where they have the festival??
Holy shit the festival looks incredible! Must’ve been chaotic as hell though but it’s part of the Experience
It was absolutely wild!!!
Really want to go to music festival now they look like so much fun man
Download has been on my bucket list for over a decade. One day, I will make it to a Download festival. Thank you for vlogging.
Thanks for doing all the hard stuff for those of us that can't! (Seriously, can't do these big festivals anymore-it's just too exhausting). :) Behemoth looked super cool. Loved seeing you there!
Thank you i appreciate you filming the festival much love 🖤
26:05 I'm a Spaniard, so I really love that they translated the lyrics to Spanish. ❤❤❤
This looks fun!
It was a lot of fun, we had a great time and was an amazing experience, just didn't expect it to be like 30 degrees the whole time, we expected rain! It is the uk after all haha
@@RandomGothCouple I was just saying the other day how I would like to go check it out. I just dread going flying anymore.
Good on you lads for going and supporting Sophie Lancaster foundation I been big supporter of this Sinch the start .it's good to see Irish you Volg I have to say is one of the best of download.good on you both
I still’ where her’ wrist band’ ‘ so sad’ we should be who we are ‘ I cried so much’ . Wish I was at download’ 🤘🎤🎸😜💋no one rock chick 🤘jack. Maidstone xjx
Thankyou so much for vlogging this i totally enjoyed living it through yourselves ❤
Im super jealous,ive always wanted to go to Download!
That BMTH intro and show production was seriously impressive! Thanks for covering it
We were so impressed! We bought tickets for the tour straight after! The best show we have ever seen 😱😱 Thanks for watching 🖤
Thanks for this vlog. I've been to download 2019 and been wanting to back since. at least now I can enjoy the festival through you guys
Totally incredible! What an amazing video!
Oooh hell yeah, good to see you guys having this ton of fun! Idk why tho... I have this voice in my head telling me to go to the ferris wheel 🤔. Great vid my friends! 🦇
Aww thank you! 🖤 Next year it will be the first thing we do 😅 Hope you had an amazing end of your trip! We were just talking about how amazing your last few pictures have been aswel! So aesthetically pleasing 🖤🦇
@@RandomGothCouple imma be a goblin floating over the wheel and you guys are gonna be like "WAIT IS THAT A PEETZ?" 😂 ty my friends, I do try with the pics, and the rest of the trip was insanely good. You guys take care and hydrate with this nonsense heatwave happening ok? 🤘🦇🖤
It was something to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd 's (from my hometown Jacksonville, Florida)" FreeBird " playing while you were going into the Haunted house. Conor your honest descriptions of the 4, count them 4 days of the Download Festival were priceless! and so entertaining. You and Lynn were real and entertaining. Love you both. So glad you brought us along on your adventure.
I actually didn't even notice that the whole time I was editing haha It's funny you can see the heat making us crazier as the days go by! So glad you enjoyed it 🖤
I love her makeup rock on🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thank you 🤟🖤🖤
Loved singing Evanescence with you hahaha!!!! We smashed those high's 🤣
Thanks for singing with me 😂😂 We definitely did 🤘🤘
This was very fun to watch, thank you very much! I didn't know about your channel before, but it got recommended by youtube and then I saw you guys in the compilation video of BMTH as well, which gave this video extra depth ;) That concert must have been an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience, i'm very jealous :)
Thank you for coming over here !! That’s amazing you found us from that video ! I still can’t believe that happened! And then they posted it on a few videos ahhh! We got tickets to see them in Dublin Ireland next year! Honestly Bring me alone made it so worth it !
I've been to every download since 2010, so i think this was my 13th, and man, 4 days of arena was A LOT!, I didn't spend crazy amounts in the arena itself, especially on last 2 days with that insane heat, had to pace myself.
Was still great, but I want my dang Thursday Camp and Doghouse fun next year!
Jealous you've got to experience it so many times!! Yeah the last two days in particular were awfully hot. Sunday I just melted all day because of the humidity but at least there was cloud cover, Saturday was just raw sun and was tough to watch bands outdoors! Still was an amazing experience, think we went a little harder than we should have though haha next year hopefully we'll be back and will definitely take it easier!
@@RandomGothCouple Awesome! yeah I usually plan for about 20 bands, and end up seeing 12-14 lol
That's the reality of music festivals, too much to see these days! Did any of you watch Terror (hardcore punk band) on the Sunday?
I think this was my 15th DL and I totally agree that the vibe was different this year due to the extra day. It was so exhausting and I miss not having the Wed and Thurs to just catch up with people we only ever see at DL. We usually go into Donington village for the pubs on Thurs night and I missed not getting that this year. I think they should have opened on Tues, would have made the whole experience a little easier to deal with and given us that extra socializing time.
@@1980extremeG I think mostly it's just that you have all these goals and then when you get there your legs disagree, the beers at the tent start making decisions and you eventually get your butt to the arena at 4-5pm lol
Actually this DL-Festival is something special, because it's an 20s-Aniversery. It looks like a lot of fun. Cool Headliners / Top Acts! Well I haven't ever seen Evanescens live *BTW* For someone who is new to festivals in general sense, this one may be wrong for startup, I think. It really looks alike The whole nine yards, also if it's not actually raining! ➡Awesome VLOG! I'm through this until 22:30!
What an epic festival! I have not been to a festival in years so this was so fun to watch!
We are so glad you enjoyed it !!
Thank You Random Goth Couple!!
Thank you for introducing me to Hot Milk, just went and binge-listened to their music 😂 lmao… They’re effin’ awesome! 😎🤘
Ohh I love them! I was sad we didn’t get to watch the full set because I’m the only one that likes them haha - Lynn
I think the BEST VLOG ive ever watched😻🖤🖤 🎉
What an emotional rollercoaster!! I had chills, screamed (when Oli touched Lynn) and also teared up during the vlog!! 🖤 I really hope to experience something like this someday! And I'll remember to dress cool! 🖤
Which bands were your favourites? It looks like you actually have a diverse taste in music... Seeing you singing a Limp Bizkit song was awesome 🤘😆
Bring Me The Horizon were the best with Electric Callboy as a close second! We listen to absolutely everything
11:10 I'M MELTINGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLELLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't too far from you guys I was at the very front too and was loving seeing what was happening with the cup stacking xD
It was good entertainment haha
Wow...That is a huge crowd.
I’m so jealous! I’ve never been to download but hope to one day but seeing it like this still helps me get an insight into what i should expect. Idk how you didn’t melt tbh
It looks like a lot of fun! 🖤
I have never heard of Perturbator before but the snippets you played sounded really good so I have it lined up on another tab so I can listen to their music after I'm finished watching this. lol Thank you for that. 😊
It's funny that it's been uncharacteristically hot in the UK because here in Ohio, it's been the exact opposite. It has felt so much like fall that I am not only longing for fall because of it but also, even the leaves on the trees are getting confused and a few of them are turning colors which has, I'll admit, freaked me out a bit. lmao
It looks like you guys had a great time. It was great living vicariously through you both for Download Festival.
Much love to you both!
I'm originally from Ohio too! You should listen to Carpenter Brut too! Another artist similar to Perturbator.
@@beyondtheradio Which part of Ohio are you from?
Amazing to see you at Download this year! Gutted I missed Lynn but thank you for the selfie Connor! You guys have created a really catchy video and I'm glad I've watched it. It's reminded me of the good at Download and makes me ready for next year. Wasn't too keen on this year and I was camping in Accessible, so like few hundred yards from the arena entrance.. woops! I'm considering the AirBnb route next year.. but they're so pricey! But then again, so is camping at Download! Hopefully see you at some other festivals this year if you're about in the UK, otherwise.. definitely see you at Download next year.
The heat was definitely unreal, the walking isn't fun and it's looooong weekend that is for sure.. I agree on the stage clashes too! But I missed Friday altogether except for BMTH!
Keep up the good work guys, you two are super cute ^_^
Honestly fair play to you for getting through camping! We can only imagine how hard that was! If you can find a couple of people to share an air bnb with then the prices are not too bad! Definitely worth it to be able to take a bath or shower and get a good sleep! I’m sure we will definitely end up back in the UK for one or two shows before the end of the year but if not then we will definitely be back for Download Festival, but maybe just for the two days 😂💀 I’m glad you got to meet Conor and that you enjoyed the festival! There was definitely hard times but a lot of fun times in there too 🖤
It was very funny the part of Jazmin Bean. Poor Hello Kitty 😂
It was amazing! We were so shocked ! We love stuff like that !
What happened to them being busy filming melanie martinez's portals movie? As I have seen that melanie is coming to Australia next February, so maybe filming has been delayed? Oh yeah it would of, because of the writers/actors strike atm
So cool! There were so many cool bands this year!
Shame I did not see you guys there, would have been awesome to say Hi, I was there on the sunday and right outside the tent with the band that had hello kitty on stage. Would have made more sense for sid wilson to do a dj set that would have been awesome
Great video Thanks so much including us way down here in Australia!
Man I haven’t seen your vids in a while so I have so much to catch up on.
So why not start with Download festival!!
The lineup was sooooooo sick like dude!!!
Thank you for recording this because it makes me feel like I’m there jamming out!!
You guys look awesome btw!!
My new fave UA-camr’s 🖤 I first saw Pendulum at Bestival in 2008 and it was more of a DnB dance crowd, feel really old! 😂
Brilliant video 😊thank you
Thanks for the video both, really enjoyed it 🖤🤘
This was great to watch! I definitely could not have done this guys!' 😂
Give me a smile ‘ come on slipknot ‘ bloody Lov em . Don’t ever come to Maidstone ‘ was great once. Lynn smile lol 🤘🎤🤘🎸🎤
Great video, been doing Download since 07 but missed this year due to work (boooooo)
Got my RIP ticket for next year so might see you both there 👍
Ahh see you next year hopefully!
This was an awesome Video, thanks guys!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
We had Grass pop this weekend 4 days of metal And Yes Slipnot was here 2
Grasspop looked great, lineup was similar but was missing a few of the smaller acts we were glad to catch at Download! Crazy schedule those bands have being in Belgium playing a festival and then being in the UK the NEXT day playing another. Idk how they do it!
@@RandomGothCouple Yeah I didnt go this year , in 2018 we had slipnot and disturbed In same day with few more amazing bands , I hope next year we get same more that i like , with smaller once 2
and yeah its crazy how fast they need to go from here to uk with their whole set up and stuff without to much sleep .
But if you ever come to this one , its very fun we dont have much extra But Merch a lot 2 and easy to get to in it
Great’ video thanks Conner .
Europe has the best festivals 🤘🍺🤘 So jealous
Man, placebo have been in my country like a gazillion times and I’ve never gone to see them 😂 I have no excuse… they are a really special band for me, one of the first I ever got into. So we’re slipknot. Slipknot was actually the first band t-shirt I ever got. Although I fell out of love with them a long time ago, seeing them live like that, masks and all, energetic and still rocking after everything that’s happened with the band, put a smile on my face
Should definitely check them our next time they come if you can. Brian had so much energy on stage and hearing the old songs was therapeutic!
Seen Slipknot a few times now and its always great because they have so much going on! Tortilla man is the best though, he was climbing, jumping, hanging and swinging on everything he could get his hands on!
@@RandomGothCouple 😆 I am sure slipknot would be amazing live. And Brian has always had such charisma, I’ve always really admired him 😊
Thank you so much for sharing I loved it & Metallica. It's one of my most favorite band ever when they come to do a concert here, I will be seeing them.
It’s a shame we missed them on the second night ! It seemed to be a better show ! Hopefully they go over your way soon!
Not you look like motionless 😂😂. WOW man of many faces. Awesome 👍
Hey guys from Pittsburgh pa Usa! Just found you guys and your content...great stuff. Cheers!
Randomly came across your video and just wanted to say you both look fuckin' awesome and I love how you both absolutely own your style🤘🏽
Welcome to the channel! Thanks so much 🤘 glad you enjoyed it!
Finally watching this! I'm so sad we don't have anything like this here. (I have commented this and something similar on all download videos I've seen) ❤ it's making me long for Good Things Festival. 😢😢
Thank You!
Excellent video- Thanks!
cool festival! I knew about it but I didn't know it was so huge! thnks for vlogging your experience, love seeing your adventures!! Greetings from Portugal 🖤
We didn’t know it was that big either! There are still so many parts we haven’t even seen! Hopefully we will be more organised next year ! Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Also Gyoza stand ftw! they kicked ass last and this year, shame the smoker stand wasn't here this year though, those dirty fries were the shit!
Great video guys! It looked like such an awesome time. I wish I could've been there. xD
This is the earliest I've been and I love it
Ps: I love you guys and love your guys content!🖤🦇🦇🖤
Thank you for the support 🖤🖤🖤
First watch of you guys loved the vlog made me laugh and yet also feel your pain in places ❤
Hi welcome to the channel, glad you enjoyed it, always love to show our real/genuine experience 🤘
Looks awesome🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I loved this video a lot 🖤
Thank you so much 🖤
What a fantastic vlog really enjoyed it great Metallica footage subbed look forward to seeing more cheers
Great Vlog guys. Watching this I definitely remember passing the pair of you.
Ahh hopefully we can say hi next year ! Hope you had a great time and are recovering well !
@@RandomGothCouple it’s definitely getting tougher as I get older. Gutted you lost your ending. Great production on the opening too btw. I’ll be watching going forward 🤘
Wow how did u manage the heat.....thank you so much for sharing, I was so bummed I could go this year, looked like so much fun 🦇🦇🦇
We didn’t manage it very well 😂 but we survived in the end and had a fun time! I definitely should have brought a black umbrella and a fan ! There’s always next year ! 🖤🖤🦇🦇🦇
Hi Guys, Wowsers, that was an insane festival, thank you so very much for Vlogging the event as much as you guys can, I can definitely feel the heat from the end of my TV every time I see the hot sun. LOL! Also, Thank you so very much for Showing Ice Nine Kills, Slipknot and my all time favourite Heavy Metal Band Disturbed. That was a fantastic video and truly wonderful, you guys are epic and you guys rock, have a great day today and Happy Halloween. 🦇 🎃 👻 🕸️ 🕷️ 😊😻
Look forward to your festival vlogs!
Brilliant video
Thank you ! We are glad you like it !
It was my 5th or 6th can’t remember but it was great! However those campers normally walk around 10-15miles per day. It’s tough but it’s fun! Especially when you are in you 50s. Camp next time!
Wow fair play to you!! I'm sure we could handle camping but maybe could camp atleast one night for the experience 😂
Loved it!!!!
Enough said... Lol!
Thanks so much 🤘
KEL LOVES ORANGE SODA!! I DO I DO I DO OOHH 😂🖤🖤
So cool! Always love your videos! And I know I'm greedy but I do hope of another video from when you went to the pit & pendulum and the haunted museum, any chance of that? Thank you for all the work you do and sharing your experiences with us🦇
Thank you so much! Unfortunately not! We did plan on filming the Haunted Museum and did ask but they don't allow filming!
And we weren't at pit and Pendulum long enough to film because we were rushing to make it to the museum! Our 3rd time at that bar, we love it so much. Will eventually make a video on it 😅
Tnx for vlog really nice one
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Hope you're having a great time 🤘💯🌞
We did thank you 🧛
I found the Sunday heat was the worst by far. Glad you managed to enjoy yourselves despite it being hotter than the sun this year.
Saturday was the worst for me! I had to leave early and got lost and did a long hike! It was so bad!! - Lynn
This video was amazing, my husband and I always thought we wanted to go to download, but now it just looks too hot and exhausting. Being from the US, we are used to the heat, but this just looked next level heat. Loved your video, though it was great!
We think this was a rare hot one ! Hopefully next year it won’t be as hot ! And it will be 3 days instead of 4 💀Thanks for watching ! Glad you enjoyed it 🤘❤️
You think it's too hot? 😂😂😂😂 Come to South Spain in mid July-August if you want to learn what HOT is, lol.
@BlanchestarlightUwU We have been to Spain around those times and we didn't mind the heat then! Same with when we go to LA! But the heat in Ireland and the UK is different because the humidity levels are 80 to 90 percent and the sun rays are so much worse! Also we have no air con so it's just worse over all.
39:37 I actually thought they were about to perform an Enter Shikari song there for a second
Omgg same !! We freaked out!
@@RandomGothCouple and this is why I love your channel, you actually respond to comments, Lynn even responded to my comment on her Kawaiibatfangz channel, also just good content in general
Hi Conor & Lynn,
Thanks for the awesome vlog and i hope you both are doing better after all the walking and suffering in the hot heat after 3 & 1/2 just wish i could of went and I'm a huge supporter of Sophie Lancaster and got quite a lot of their stuff, I'll be getting a Black Rose to represent her next month on the 15th of July 🖤🌷🦇🤘
Heyy Paul! Hope you are doing well! We are recovering well! We mostly just have our throats to heal up! Aww that’s such a sweet idea we love that 🖤🖤🖤
@RandomGothCouple I'm glad you guys have recovered and I hope your throats feel better soon and mines been playing up during to bad hay-fever recently and it only started to feel back to normal today and thanks, I'm going under for my music as "Black Rose" 🖤🖤🖤
@Paul_HA_JoKeR_HA ohh hayfever is the worst! And it seems to get worse every year! We suffer from bad hay fever too! Hope it calms down soon! And that’s a beautiful name 🖤🌹🥀 We need a black rose emoji !
I found Electric Call Boy through this, thank you!!!!!!
Amazing !! They are the best to dance to!
lol never understood why so many events happen during early summer heat, especially stuff like this do it in the fall ffs!
That would be so perfect!
UK weather isn't like US weather.
DL is usually either sweltering like this or it becomes a swampy mess because of the rain. If DL was moved to Autumn it would be a mud pit the entire weekend and it would go out of business within 3 years.
This was the hottest June on record for the UK. Next year it will probably be raining all weekend and we'll be wading through a foot of mud. Very rarely is it in-between and just perfect.
@@ct5625 thats a good point, cant sit around waiting for it to be perfect
Loved this vlog.
I had friends at the festival from here in Fife, Scotland.
I haven't been since 2015. I'm just going to gig's instead of festival's as i can't handle the walking anymore.
Totally not jealous of the fact my friends got 2 night's of Metallica 😂
\m/
Hi, guys, I hope you had fun there! It really looked awesome! Many great bands to see, huh? 😊
Thank you! So many bands ! We missed out on atleast 5 more we wanted to see but there was a lot of great bands !
In love with Halestorm and those bands you showed! MIW sound great live, I see. Idk, I really like them. ❤🖤😊
Btw, what's that thing that fell at 34:00? 😅
@BlanchestarlightUwU We actually didn't notice that 😂😂 I've no idea! Looks like someone's jacket!
OMG I would love a summer concert where it is only 20 degrees- In Arizona today it was 40 degrees! (104 F - for those of you who are not familiar with the conversion)
Placebo…..ahhh my first concert in a music hall on my 18th birthday ( I wasn’t old enough to see COLD - that would have been the first).
What an amazing festival
It was really something else, tough with the heat but an amazing experience!
Fantastic Vlog 💀💀🤘🤘🕸🕸
DAAAMN, yaw saw PERTURBATOR? Haven't been able to catch them here in the USA, but I flipped my wig when I saw Squarepusher at the Orange Peel in Asheville,NA. If you ever come to Asheville, NC USA, you must catch a show there...small, intimate venue with so much energy in its bones!
The Orange Peel is a great venue.
@@cccCCCccc123ccc True! True! There is a new venue there called RABBIT RABBIT, haven't been there myself, but I want to.
I was sooo happy! They played a show here in Dublin last December with Health and it was sold out and I couldn't manage to get a ticket last minute so was delighted to catch them at this! Will definitely check it out if we're evr in the area!
Be glad to be a Genious...Not many are..👌Myself a BIG Evanescence Fan..Even if i Love DethMetal
I'm 28 and too traumatized for concerts, but this takes me back to my teens crowdsurfing to Korn, almost dying in the pit, losing a shoe and still having an amazing time 😂 🤟
I have no idea why I thought it would be a great idea to check this vid out at midnight but here we are, at the end of the vid, regret free 😏
This seemed like an absolute blast! Nice to see you both somehow survived 😂 Didnt realise something so extravagant existed but I see why, great bands, company and fashion sense! 🦇 Makes me sad that we only have one alt store here in Newcastle considering how many love it lol Got yourself a new sub btw 😌
Welcome to the channel! We are glad you enjoyed it !! We haven’t been to Newcastle yet but would love to visit! That sounds similar to Dublin! We have around 2 alt stores here ! Most of them closed down!
@@RandomGothCouple Thank you! I discovered you guys recently and love your content 😊 Newcastle is worth seeing even if we only have one store so you absolutely should!
So happy with this video cause I can never get to Download festival, and this makes me happy hehe
Ahh you should have seen stray from the path, probably the best performance of Saturday, was so damn good. While you were watching motionless, i was sat way over at the pizza fries stand laying down in the only free bit of shade that i could see 😅
We actually saw Stray from the Path about 2 months ago in Manchester with Beartooth & MIW! They have a lot of great energy! And yeah during Motionless's set was when the sun and heat kinda peaked, don't blame you! We went and sat down for about 2 hours in the shade after!
Great 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
