BLINK-182, BRING ME THE HORIZON And EVANESCENCE To Headline 2027 Edition Of U.K.'s DOWNLOAD Festival

The truth is finally out there as Download festival, the greatest rock and metal festival on the planet, returns for its 24th edition as DLXXIV. Announced today are three huge headliners — BLINK-182, BRING ME THE HORIZON and EVANESCENCE — and more than 100 other names. Download will return to U.K.'s Donington Park, the spiritual home of rock, on June 9-13, 2027. Tickets are on sale now at www.downloadfestival.co.uk.

Bigger, better and bolder than ever, Download XXIV promises unmissable headline sets from BLINK-182, the kings of pop punk, making their Download debut; the mighty BRING ME THE HORIZON, doing a victory lap after their unbelievable headline set in 2023; and the iconic EVANESCENCE, fronted by goth-rock goddess Amy Lee, the festival's second female-led headliner. They will all perform on the U.K.'s biggest festival stage.

The stacked lineup features something for everyone, from huge artists to electric newcomers. Unveiled today are more than 100 bands, including a very special performance from rock legends MÖTLEY CRÜE, as well as U.K. and international heavyweights TURNSTILE, THE PRODIGY, FAITH NO MORE, I PREVAIL, PIERCE THE VEIL, PRESIDENT, 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, BASEMENT, SOFT PLAY, HIGH VIS, STATIC-X, MURDERDOLLS, BODY COUNT ft. Ice-T, MALEVOLENCE, CONVERGE, COMEBACK KID, TERROR, THE HIVES, DAYSEEKER, BILMURI, HOLDING ABSENCE, PVRIS, HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS, CARCASS, NAPALM DEATH and many more.

After months of predictions and rumors, the DLXXIV lineup was served in truly spectacular fashion with a launch banquet at Alexandra Palace Theatre this evening. Guests were invited to the Dark Harvest, a feast in four acts cooked over fire by MATBLAK x Woodfire Canteen, before the unveiling of the launch film and a Q&A with festival director Kam Haq.

This is only the beginning for DLXXIV, with many acts and surprises still to come. Early Bird tickets sold out within two weeks and this is officially the fastest selling Download ever, with tickets on course to sell out for the fifth year in a row.
