My geography is shite (in the same way that some Americans think me living in Wales is ‘where in England ?’).
What part of France do you both live in terms of being close to major cities ?

I live between Cannes And Nice at the very south est tip, close to the Italian border, in a town called Antibes.
Nice is the closest big city.
Then there is Marseille which is a.good two.hours drive.
When big bands come play France they will do Paris and that’s it.

Sorry. I meant Anthony. I’m still half asleep. Had a few beers last night

Antibes sounds really familiar to me, but I don’t know why…
The closest I’ve ever been is Pérols (near Montpellier) on a family holiday in 1982, but we definitely didn’t venture that far East…
A quick Google doesn’t highlight anything historical that would make it familiar…

I live near Rennes which is a pretty big town in West of France…it is about 200 miles from Paris
Unfortunately this part of France is often forgotten by the bands I listen to…except for Anathema who has played in Rennes a few months ago (in a great venue btw)

Public Service Broadcasting in October at one of their five ‘thank you Wales’ set of dates. All in smaller venues, and being used as warm ups for their Royal Albert Hall gig.

I didn’t realize Download was this weekend. Is it usually this early in the summer? It’s 30 years since I last went to Donington. Iron Maiden in 1988. I remember traveling up from Oxford in the back of an old Transit work van. No seats, just 8 of us crowded in the back, sat on the plywood floor! Stupid when I think back. Amazing day despite the conditions. Wasn’t aware of the tragedy that occurred until after I got home the next day.

I was there for that. Right down the front in the Guns 'n Roses crush.
Went to all Monsters Of Rock between 1983 and 1994. Then had a big break before going back as a one off in 2012.
Just like yourself - always got there in the back of a overfull transit van. Better then as well. Just roll up in a van, park anywhere, and get your music, fire and drinking sorted right next to the van. No need for official car parks and hauling your beer and tents for miles to an overcrowded camping site, as is done these days.
From the people who are still alive in the photo below, i’d guess around 1985 or 1986.
