Download 2026 is now sadly coming to a close after rockers, headbangers and metalheads assembled in Donington Park for one of the biggest UK festivals of the year.

The event was held over the weekend of June 12 to June 14 and featured legendary bands such as Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and Guns N' Roses as headliners.

Spirits were high as the crowds assembled to rock out to their beloved artists.

Day one kicked off on Friday (June 12), with nu metal royalty Limp Bizkit taking the Castle Donington mainstage after the death of bassist Sam Rivers in October last year.

Day Two, Saturday, June 13, saw Guns N' Roses take to the stage with Trivium, and the Architects also making an appearance.

The legendary Linkin Park will close off the festival on Sunday (June 14), with Bad Omens and a Day to Remember also playing on the final day.

Download Festival has become synonymous with a good time. Music lovers have previously been treated to rock royalty such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, and Black Sabbath.
