Download festival 2024 promises to be another huge one. It might not match the scale of last year's 20th anniversary celebration, which provided a full four days of music instead of the usual three, but if 2023 proved anything, it's that Download can still pull a massive crowd if that right bill is put in place.
It's been a strange period for the Donington Park faithful. Following a mammoth 2019 with headlining sets from Def Leppard, Slipknot and Tool, plans for the 2020 event were in full swing, with site improvements in place and bands galore.
Then, of course, came Covid, and the postponement of the festival for a year. And then another year. It's what nobody wanted, and while Download Pilot did a valiant effort of bringing Download spirit to challenging times, it was Download 2022 that truly righted the ship, with Kiss, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro bringing the heat, while just turned it up further.
