Download Festival have made a massive new announcement for 2026 – and the line-up just keeps getting bigger.

New additions include A Day To Remember, Creeper, Daughtry, Hot Milk, Silly Goose, Marmozets, BAND-MAID, Stampin’ Ground, Frozemode, Conjurer, Annisokay, Private School and DECESSUS. They’ll also welcome THE PRIMALS – the official band of Final Fantasy XIV – who will be performing outside of Asia for the very first time.

Alongside the new acts, day splits have now been confirmed, revealing who’ll be setting the stage alight ahead of headliners Limp Bizkit, Guns N’ Roses and Linkin Park.

On Friday, the Apex Stage will host high-energy sets from Pendulum, Electric Callboy and Cypress Hill before Limp Bizkit close out the night. Ahead of Guns N’ Roses, expect appearances from Black Veil Brides, BABYMETAL and Trivium. And before Linkin Park bring the weekend to a finish, you’ll be able to catch The Pretty Reckless, Ice Nine Kills, Bad Omens and more.

Elsewhere across the site, Halestorm, Architects and A Day To Remember will headline the Opus Stage, while the Avalanche Stage will be topped by Feeder, The All-American Rejects and the one and only Scooter.
