With Download Festival incoming, we kick off our preview coverage with our annual playlist drop. This is an all-encompassing festival playlist featuring every band set to hit the four main stages in the Arena. Have some free time outside of your favourites and keen to find something new? Want to get yourself pumped up for the festival on the journey to Donington? Need a reminder on who is playing this year? This playlist is for you.
There are a handful of tickets left for 2026. To make purchases or generally read more about this year's event, head over to https://downloadfestival.co.uk/
