With a legacy spanning decades, Download Festival returns in 2024, promising an onslaught of headbanging anthems, mosh pit madness, and a lineup that’s sure to ignite the spirits of music lovers worldwide from Friday 14th to Sunday 16th June 2024 on the hallowed turf of Donington Park in Leicestershire.
One year after the extended 20th anniversary celebrations, Download Festival returns in 2024 having solidified its reputation as a haven for metalheads, punk rockers, and hard rock aficionados alike. From its humble beginnings to its current status as a global phenomenon, Download has remained true to its ethos of delivering uncompromising, adrenaline-fueled performances year after year.
This year, Download welcomes Liquid Death as their first ever headline partner in the festival’s 21-year legacy. The sustainable beverage company partnered with Download for the first time in 2023 reducing plastic by hundreds of thousands of bottles. Liquid Death’s commitment to eliminating single-use plastic will be at the heart of the Download partnership.
Leading the charge in 2024 are some of the biggest names in the genre, each ready to unleash their sonic fury upon the masses. Headlining this year’s festival are renowned American rock band Queens Of The Stone Age (Friday) who have gained acclaim for their heavy, riff-driven sound and melodic vocals becoming an influential force in contemporary rock music. Joining them on the main stage are Grammy winning Chicago pop-punkers Fall Out Boy (Saturday) known for their energetic performances and anthemic choruses and Avenged Sevenfold (Sunday) whose incendiary live shows, intricate guitar solos and powerful vocals have seen them become a dominant force in the modern metal scene.
But Download isn’t just about the established titans of rock; it’s also a platform for emerging talent to make their mark on the world stage. This year’s lineup features an eclectic mix of up-and-coming bands and underground sensations, each poised to deliver a performance that will leave a lasting impression.
