Download Festival have just dropped a huge new 2026 announcement.

The line-up now features appearances by the mighty A Day To Remember, Creeper, Daughtry, Hot Milk, Silly Goose, Marmozets, BAND-MAID, Stampin’ Ground, Frozemode, Conjurer, Annisokay, Private School and DECESSUS, as well as Final Fantasy XIV’s official band THE PRIMALS (who are performing outside of Asia for the first time ever).

On top of that, the fest have also revealed day splits, and who you’ll be able to watch in the run-up to headliners Limp Bizkit, Guns N’ Roses and Linkin Park. On the Friday, the Apex Stage will feature the party-starting likes of Pendulum, Electric Callboy and Cypress Hill ahead of the arrival of Fred Durst and co., while the likes of Black Veil Brides, BABYMETAL and Trivium will warm things up before GN’R. Then, finally, before Linkin Park close out the whole thing, you’ll be able to watch The Pretty Reckless, Ice Nine Kills, Bad Omens and more.

Elsewhere, Halestorm, Architects and ADTR are set to headline the Opus Stage, while the Avalanche Stage will be topped by Feeder, The All-American Rejects and, of course, the one and only Scooter.
