Download Festival has announced a new group of artists who will be performing alongside Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Guns N’ Roses at the highly anticipated 2026 event. The festival, known as “DLXXIII,” will take place at Donington Park in June, attracting metal fans for a weekend filled with music and unpredictable weather. Organizers have added 14 more artists to the lineup, including A Day to Remember and The Primals.

A Day to Remember, hailing from Ocala, will return to Donington to share the stage with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine on Sunday. The Primals, a Japanese band formed in 2014 by Masayoshi Soken, will also perform their heavy metal interpretations of music from the video game Final Fantasy XIV at the event. English rock band Creeper will support Daughtry on Friday, along with other acts like Hot Milk, Conjurer, Decessus, and Annisokay.

Download Festival initially revealed over 90 acts last November, setting the stage for a diverse lineup of prominent artists. Linkin Park will headline the festival on Sunday with new vocalist Emily Armstrong, marking their first appearance at Download in 12 years since the passing of frontman Chester Bennington. Limp Bizkit and Guns N’ Roses are also set to deliver electrifying performances during the festival.

Kamran Haq, from Download Festival, expressed pride in the 2026 lineup, highlighting the depth and diversity of the artists. The festival continues to attract attention and ticket sales, with Miss World Chile, Ignacia Fernández, set to perform with her band Decessus after gaining recognition for her death metal vocals. Tickets are selling fast, making it the last chance for fans to secure their spots at the festival.
