Your safety is our priority and we’ve put in place all necessary measures to maximise public safety, working closely with local authorities at the highest level.
All festival goers will be subject to extra searches of their vehicles, bags and their person. Bags must be A4 size or under (30cm height x 8cm depth x 21cm width) in order to enter the arena. Please be patient if there are longer queues than normal. We request that you cooperate with any security requests and searches. Please pack light! These bag restrictions apply ONLY to the arena and not to the campsites.
CCTV recording is in operation throughout the festival site for public safety and crime prevention.

Taking place where the three counties of Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire meet, Liquid Death Presents Download Festival has excellent connections by road, rail, bus and plane.
