With top billing consistently taken by some of the biggest names in rock and metal, it’s not hard to see why Download is one of the most popular and well-attended festivals in the UK. 

Conceived as a follow-up to the Monsters Of Rock Festival, Download partly owes its name to the pioneering way in which it uses technology to connect with audiences and build a community. 

2026 line-up includes: Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Guns 'N Roses, Mastodon, Pendulum, Bad Omens, Cypress Hill, Architects, Trivium, Electric Callboy and more.
