The United Kingdom’s Download festival will return in 2023 with a special celebration of its 20th anniversary with four headline sets. Headliners include Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, and Metallica, who will perform two unique, no-repeat performances on Thursday and Saturday of the event. The 2023 edition will take place on June 8th-11th, 2023, in Donington Park, Leicestershire. General tickets go on sale this Thursday (10th) at 10 am.
Metallica commented:
“We are next-level honored 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!!”
