Download and Isle Of Wight festivals' weather worries

Waterproofs recommended for both events

June 12, 2008 | 11 Comments

With the Isle Of Wight and Download festivals taking place this weekend (June 13-15), the message at both sites is that fans should take waterproofs.

BBC Weather has been predicting rain on all three days both on the Isle Of Wight and at Download's Donington site, although optimistically they suggested there should be a few sunny intervals over the weekend.

Met Check, though, is slightly more optimistic. For the Isle Of Wight they are predicting a cloudy outlook, but suggest it will stay dry.

For Download, they predict rain for the opening two days but things should warm up and stay dry on Sunday (15).

Keep up with this weekend's (June 13-15) festival action as it happens on NME.COM. For news, pictures and blogs keep checking the NME.COM's Isle Of Wight Festival page and NME.COM's Download Festival page for live coverage from both sites.

Yeah cpbrophy how dare they not like the same bands as me what a buch of idiots listening to their crap music. We should all like one type of music the - one I like - everything else is irrelevant 'cos I say so.

What an ignorant thing to say; music lovers are music lovers no matter what genre they prefer. I don't wish the Albert Hall roof to fall in whilst the proms are on because I'm not a fan of classical.Ridiculous statement.

I never said anything about people having to like one type of music I just said that I thought download festival wasn't my thing I like all types of music so don't get a big cob on just because I slag off a few bands
