Download Festival has revealed its 2026 lineup including headliners Linkin Park, Guns N’ Roses & Limp Bizkit. Check out the full lineup below.
The 23rd edition of the fest will take place from June 10-14, 2026, in Donington Park, Leicestershire, in the U.K.
The powerhouse lineup will bring together more than 90 acts spanning rock, metal, punk, emo, hardcore, and classic rock for one of the year’s biggest festivals. Nu-metal icons Limp Bizkit will make their long-awaited return as Friday’s headliners — marking their first-ever top billing at the event following a buzzworthy Download performance last year. Guns N’ Roses take over Saturday night, while Linkin Park will close out Sunday with their first Download appearance since reuniting in 2024 with new vocalist Emily Armstrong. Both GNR and Linkin Park have previously headlined the festival twice — in 2004 and 2014 for Linkin Park, and most recently in 2018 for GNR.
