The 23rd edition of the country’s biggest rock festival stakes a claim to its best bill yet – with Limp Bizkit, Guns N’ Roses and Linkin Park leading an expansive roster for June 2026, all three playing their only UK shows of the year at Donington.
Beyond those headline names are Bad Omens, Cypress Hill, TriviumArchitects, Electric Callboy and Halestorm will surely command huge crowds, backed by a roll-call of rock’s finest including Ice Nine Kills, BABYMETAL, Pendulum, The Pretty Reckless, Black Veil Brides, Behemoth, Mastodon, The All-American Rejects, Feeder, Cavalera, Static-X and Blood Incantation.
Those also billed include Ash, Bush, Hollywood Undead, Tom Morello, Social Distortion, Periphery, Sleep Theory, Silent Planet, Drowning Pool, We Came As Romans, Die Spitz and ANKOR – and if that’s not enough, we can even add John Wick to the list as Keanu Reeves brings his bass to Dogstar. And even that’s but a fraction of the more than 90 acts now announced.
Download 2026 is set for 10–14 June at Donington Park.
