The California four-piece will perform two completely unique sets with no repeated songs as the festival features four headline sets for the first time. The rock festival will return to Leicestershire’s Donington Park in June for its twentieth anniversary “extravaganza,” and more than 60 acts have been confirmed to be performing over its four days.Ĭonfirmed as headlining the festival are Sheffield rockers Bring Me the Horizon and mask-wearing metal band Slipknot, who return to the site as “true Donington veterans.” Joining them at the top of the bill are rock titans Metallica, who in an unprecedented move have been confirmed for headline slots on two days of the festival. Look out for an e-mail from them very soon and please only contact them if you have not been contacted after 5 days as they are very busy at this time.The lineup for Download Festival 2023 has been confirmed, and fans are fuming at the announcement, slamming it as “lazy” and a “cop out”. Alternatively, you will be able to receive a refund from your ticket agent. You are very welcome to retain your ticket and carry it over to next year. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the NHS for their extraordinary efforts in rolling out the vaccine, as well as thanking all of you for your patience and for keeping the spirit of Download alive until we can be together again.

We’ll be back on June 10th-12th 2022, as strong as ever, with an amazing set of headliners – KISS, IRON MAIDEN AND BIFFY CLYRO. We’re heartbroken for everyone in the Download family, from artists to suppliers and of course our passionate Download fans. We never gave up hope of bringing the festival back to Donington this June and had been working so hard behind the scenes to make that happen, but sadly, we now know it’s not possible.
