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.
