BIG NEWS! The Download 2023 line up is here. Celebrating their 20th anniversary, it’s set to be a huge one with four headline slots for the first time ever. Getting ready for June 2023, it feels unhealthy to be this excited already.

Metallica are making a Download comeback after over a decade with not one, but two headline slots. Promising two unique shows with no song repeats at all - fans will be well and truly fed. Also headlining are Bring Me The Horizon and Slipknot. 

Joining them is a whos who of international rock and emo with cross-generational favourites. Including Evanescence, Parkway Drive, Architects, Placebo, Alexisonfire, Asking Alexandria, Motionless In White, and Nova Twins, Donnington Park is going to go off!

Praising the lineup, Metallica said: “We are next-level honoured to once again come back and partake in the Download shenanigans on the hallowed grounds of Castle Donington, which has an unparalleled place in rock history. On top of that, to be able to share our double show format with two completely unique sets with no repeat songs for the first time ever in the U.K is way fuckin’ cool. Bring it on!!”
