This years' event follows on from 2018's Download which saw  Ozzy Osbourne close the event as part of his 'No More Tours II' retirement trek, and Guns 'N' Roses mark three decades since their first appearance at Donington.  
 
The festival will play host to over one hundred acts, including stadium-smashing rock acts Smashing Pumpkins, Slash ft. Miles Kennedy, Trivium, Slayer, Enter Shikari and Halestorm. Today, six more bands join the bill including symphonic metal titans Epica, the world’s only ‘Elvis fronted Nirvana’ act Elvana as well as The Beaches, The Inspector Cluzo, Palisades and Blurred Vision.
 
This year sees the introduction of the first ever ‘Mind the Dog’ mindfulness initiative, where rockers can share a fully immersive live music and mindfulness experience, as well as the return of the wildly popular Do.om Yoga. Download is widely regarded as the UK’s friendliest festival and has a commitment to providing the best experience for fans, with accessibility and sustainability advances across the board.
