Hotbox Events Dog Squad Volunteers at Download Festival 2024
You came, you saw, you got muddy, but you conquered #DownloadXXI! 💥
Despite the rain and mud, you powered on and made a difference to the festival experiences of so many festival-goers 💪
The other onsite teams have been telling us it was you guys who kept smiling and motivating them on-shift when the going got tough, so a huge thank you from us 🙏
There is absolutely no way we could have taken over 1000 volunteers to Download without our awesome staff team, so another big thank you must go out to you all! 👏
Many of our staff take holiday from their day-jobs to help us run Hotbox Events and especially for Download 2024 went above and beyond to help us run the biggest team we've ever taken to a festival! We had regular staff members stepping up to take on roles they wouldn't usually, and even two stepping off flights from America only to head straight to the festival to make sure everyone was being looked after on-shift!
We really did assemble an army to take on Download Festival 2024, so a huge thank you to AJ, Alan, Alex H, Alex O, Andy, Becca, Beccy, Bella, Brian, Caitlin, Charlotte, Chris, Connor C, Connor J, Corey, Craig, Dan C, Dan N, Dave, Derrick, Dom, Edd, Embeth, Evan, Evangeline, Gordon, Greg, Harrison, Heino, Henry, Holly DA, Holly W, Ivo, Jenny, Joanna, John, Jonny, Kate, Kev B, Kev F, Lauren, Lottie, Louis, Marek, Matt, Meg, Mel, Mike, Molly, Orla, Paul D, Paul S, Peter, Richard, Rob, Ryan, Sarah D, Sarah O'C, Skye, Sof, Stephen, Stuart, Taran, Tavis, Tom, Tim, Will and Yvonne for everything you did at Download! And last but not least a final huge thank you to Jenny, Kat, Mel and Sean for all of your hidden behind the scenes work in the weeks leading up to Download - we couldn't have done it without you! 💓
