Over 100 artists have just been announced for the 2027 edition of the annual ‘Download Festival‘ at Castle Donnington, England. Taking home top billing next year are pop-punkers Blink-182, British alternative metal stars Bring Me The Horizon, and diamond-certified alternative metal band Evanescence.
Also booked for the fest are electro rockers The Prodigy, glam metal institution Mötley Crüe, reunited alternative metal pioneers Faith No More, and multi-platinum post-hardcore band Pierce The Veil.
Further reveals towards the top of the bill are GRAMMY Award-winning melodic hardcore favs Turnstile, Australian metalcore group Parkway Drive and masked buzz band PRESIDENT.
