To kick off our Download Festival 2023 (DOWNLOAD20) coverage, here are a set of words and phrases we encourage you to piece together in whichever fashion you like. Get those juices flowing, ramp up your excitement, do your thing. Treat them like word magnets on a fridge.

To kick things off, we've pulled together our yearly Download Festival playlist. This is the ultimate go-to playlist to listen through - both to bang your head to your favourites and to discover something new to check out on the weekend. Go ahead, hit that shuffle button and jump in two-footed.
