It's no longer necessary to lug loads of beer and food to a music festival - not when there is a giant Co-op store on site. Fans at Download 2022 can shop round the clock with the store open daily from 7am to 3am - provided you are prepared to queue.
As soon as people start to get up each morning and the store opens, the queues form - only dying down in the evenings when the main bands, such as headliners Kiss, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro, are on stage. At one stage the queue snaked around the car park with about 200 people in it.
A store worker said: "As the last notes die away in the evening, people are back again stocking up on more food and drink to take them through the rest of the night."
