DLXXII is just around the corner, we take a look at the line-up and what the weekend will hold.
Many more names have been confirmed - read on for more details!
By the time we meet Kelsy Karter & The Heroines backstage at Download, not only are the gang still in
Michael Poulsen is no stranger to playing at Download. The main man, front and centre, of Danish metal gods Volbeat, has played so often on the hallowed Donington turf he could probably be liable for council tax. But this year. This time. In the mud filled carnage of 2024, Poulson is right of centre and as happy as a pig in mud, as the guitarist and UK live festival debut of Asinhell.
"I've found a reason for me, To change who I used to be, A reason to start over new, And the reason is you!" Some of the most well known rock ballad lyrics in the world and a track which burst through the one billion stream mark in the run up to Download. Hoobastank’s The Reason is the soundtrack to so many of our lives and as frontman Doug Robb laughs, it got so many people laid through the years - including himself.
Will Ghould and Ian Miles are enjoying a well earned seat backstage at Download. Both their shoes are caked in thick, gluey mud. But the boys can’t stop grinning. For the third year in a row Creeper have smashed an unmissable set right out of the Donington Park, moving up the stages each year with their Main Stage set fresh in the hearts, minds and ears of 70,000 festival revellers. Very few bands are invited back for a hat-trick of consecutive appearances so have Creeper become the Download house band?
Liquid Death Presents Download Festival might have been one of the wettest on record but that didn't dampen anyone's spirits.
With festival season swinging into action, we take a look at some of the best in the coming months.
Download Festival 2024 is creeping closer and looks set to be their biggest yet!
