Liquid Death Presents Download Festival 2024: The Best Rock Festival in the UK

Rock heads unite once a year at the Download Festival which takes place at Donington Park in Leicestershire, England. The event started in 2003 with its roots trace back to the Monsters of Rock festivals during the ‘80s and ‘90s. 

The newer generation of this festival stays true to its beginnings as a hard-nosed, rebel-inspired event for rock-n-roll enthusiasts. Four days of heavy rock will be featured over five stages at the iconic location.

Headliners of past events have featured legendary groups such as Iron maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, System of a Down and Guns N’ Roses. The headbangin’ vibe runs rampant from June 8-10 and continues on into the night at the bars and after-parties.

“Go ballistic in a crowd of thousands at the world’s most hardcore rock and metal festival.”
