For the first time in Download Festival’s history, the event will showcase three headliners who are entirely new to topping the bill on the main stage.

Billie Armstrong and co will make their long-waited debut by playing the Friday night of the festival, while celebrating two major milestones; the 30th anniversary of their Dookie LP and the 20th anniversary of their American Idiot album.

The mysterious masked collective, Sleep Token, who have been on a meteoric rise since they were formed in 2016, will play the hallowed grounds of Donington on the Saturday night of the festival.

Korn will bring the festival to a close, with the nu-metal legends no doubt delivering a grand finale-worthy set on the Sunday night of the festival.
