Download Festival will celebrate 20th anniversary in 2023 by expanding to four days
Bands will perform from Thursday to Sunday
As rock fans return home today following a glorious weekend at Donington Park, Download Festival has announced it will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2023 by expanding to a four-day event.
Featuring an extra day of bands for the first time in its two-decade history, Download Festival will take place from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th June 2023.
Limited early bird tickets at 2022 prices are on sale right now from downloadfestival.co.uk.
In an interview with NME back in April, Download Festival booker Andy Copping revealed that he already has all headliners for 2023 in the can.
“We’ve already got all of our headliners booked for 2023,” Copping said.
“It’s the first time I’ve booked all the headliners in advance ahead of the prior year’s event. That news will come out not too long after this year’s festival, hopefully.
“We’re way, way down the line – because next year is essentially our 20th year so we wanted to do something a little bit special. All I can say is that it will be very, very exciting.”
This year’s sun-kissed Download Festival was headlined by KISS, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro with the likes of Skindred, Shinedown, Steel Panther, The Darkness, Myles Kennedy, Volbeat, Monster Truck, Airbourne and Wayward Sons also on the weekend bill.
You can listen to Kerrang! Radio's Download Festival Special tonight (13th June) from 9pm!
