Judging from the response, it’s arguable that Download Festival may be looking at it’s biggest ever year come this summer. It’s only getting larger though. Joining the bill today are easycore trendsetters A Day To Remember, Southampton’s finest Creeper, UK post-metal heavyweights Conjurer and the freshly reunited Marmozets. They’ll be joined by fellow newcomers Daughtry, Hot Milk, Silly Goose, BAND-MAID, Stampin’ Ground, Annisokay and Private School. However, what may be the biggest surprises of this announcement may be the confirmation of the Miss World Chile fronted DECESSUS and the official band of Final Fantasy XIV, THE PRIMALS.
On today’s lineup, Download head honcho Kamran Haq says: “We’re really proud of our line-up this year, and our second announcement brings further depth and diversity to DLXXIII. We have huge artists like A Day To Remember, Daughtry, Creeper and Hot Milk, as well as bringing Final Fantasy XIV’s official band THE PRIMALS to Download for their very first show outside of Asia. And due to popular demand, Miss World Chile – Ignacia Fernández – will be performing with her band DECESSUS after surprising the world with her incredible death metal vocals a few months ago. We have even more surprises to come, and tickets are selling out faster than ever this year, so this is your last chance to snap up the final remaining tickets.”
As usual, Download Festival 2026 will take place at Castle Donington between the dates of 10-14th June. Find those final tickets here and peep the line-up thus far below.
