Taxis should be advised to follow signage for ‘Pick up & Drop Off’. A taxi rank will be located inside the Transport Hub at Download Festival.

Please ensure you instruct drivers to drop you off and pick you up from this location and not nearby roads! Roads surrounding the festival can be unsafe, with unstable verges, often with no pavements or lighting. ‘No stopping’ orders in place around the site will also mean that drivers may risk enforcement action if they do not use the Transport Hub.

There will be a dedicated motorcycle parking area. Customers who have purchased a motorcycle parking pass can scan their digital ticket on their way into the festival, in exchange for a wristband. Head to Ticketmaster to grab your pass now.

Throughout the festival, there will also be a live travel updates page with key information including road closures & traffic, weather, car park capacity and more.
