Glenn’s Download Tattoo & European Tour

Glenn Simester, a tattooed Aussie festival veteran, is making Download Festival 2026 his most inked yet—literally—getting his first-ever tattoo right at the venue: the legendary Download Dog. Back for his third trip after a brief hiatus, Glenn’s love for the festival’s vibe and music (especially Limp Bizkit and Mastodon) is stronger than ever. He’s also got a packed European tour ahead, hitting Hellfest in France and London gigs with Alexisonfire and Billy Talent. While he’s not sure if he’ll return for a fourth straight year due to the cost and logistics, he’s definitely not ruling it out. And yes, his new tattoo was done by Josh Delaney of Old Sarum Tattoos, who called the festival crowd “a lot of diverse people”—perfect for a fresh ink.
