As you can see there is a very good variation on the line-up ranging from nu-metal to punk and death metal to grime metal, it is a very diverse announcement, but still remains true to the Download spirit. The festival takes place from the Friday 14th June to Sunday 16th June and it will surely be one of the summer’s main events for music fans across the World.

Family camping tickets have already sold out and with more bands to be announced over the coming months and the fact that Sonisphere has been shelved for another year, this year’s Download is sure to sell out. Tickets are on sale now, with camping tickets ranging from £185-£205 for the whole weekend and day tickets normally get released around April, this is definitely a must see event, so don’t miss out!
