Fall Out Boy @ The O2
Taking place 14th-16th June, Donington Park will once again host this year’s festival. 80,000+ fans are expected to be in attendance at the spiritual home of rock. Can’t decide which day to attend? Let us run through the lineup to help you make up your mind.
Friday sees the mighty Queens Of The Stone Age headline the Main Stage. Many fans of the festival have been asking for new headliners, and the desert rockers finally get their chance to top the bill. Fresh off a sell-out arena tour last year, Josh Homme and co. will treat fans to classic tracks from the iconic Rated R, seminal Songs For The Deaf, as well as showcasing 2023’s In Times New Roman.
Queens of the Stone Age @ Wembley Arena
Royal Blood and Black Stone Cherry are amongst the heavy hitters completing the main (Apex) stage lineup, whilst Bad Omens, Busted and Biohazard headline the other stages.
Royal Blood @ Hammersmith Apollo
Fall Out Boy – another band headlining the festival for the first time – are the main attraction on Saturday. Their popularity is at an all-time high, and we expect them to have Donington Park bouncing to anthems such as Sugar, We’re Going Down and Thnks Fr The Mmrs.
Fall Out Boy @ The O2
The legendary The Offspring and the always brilliant live Enter Shikari back them up on the main stage, whilst Pantera, Billy Talent and Fear Factory top the other stages on a day that also sees the likes of Babymetal, Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes and Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello performing.
Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes @ Roundhouse
Download veterans Avenged Sevenfold will close out the festival in style on Sunday. Having previously headlined in 2014 and 2018, we expect another crowd-pleasing set and can’t wait to headbang along to Unholy Confessions and Afterlife, as well as see how the new material from Life Is But A Dream comes to life on stage.
A blockbuster Apex Stage line-up includes sets from Nu Metal icons Limp Bizkit and the farewell performance from Sum 41. Machine Head, The Used and The Black Dahlia Murder will close out the other stages. Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor will perform a solo set for his almost annual appearance.
Stone Sour @ Brixton Academy
