Okay, I could be off base here, and if that’s the case correct me in the comments. Follow me for a second.
This weekend the Bay Area is hosting the Download Festival, featuring a solid line-up including the Killers, Doves, Arcade Fire and more. There is a UK version of this festival, too.
The problem I have is the name. DOWNLOAD Festival. Seriously, what can you download? I spent a few minutes on the site, and you can’t even download mp3s of the bands playing the show. You can stream about 5 songs, but you can’t download them.
So can you download the live performances after the show? At the show? I don’t know. There’s no information stating that you can in the promo text, so I don’t think so.
When I go to an Orange Festival, I expect to buy oranges. When I go to a Hip Hop Festival, I expect hip hop. You get what I’m saying here.
