Download adds Killswitch Engage, Babymetal and more to 2020 line-up: How to get tickets

Killswitch Engage, Babymetal and Volbeat are among the latest wave of acts added to the line-up for next year’s Download.

The festival, which will return to Donington Park in Derbyshire from June 12-14, has also confirmed The Pretty Reckless, Airbourne, Pup, Lit and more.

They join the previously announced headliners — Kiss, Iron Maiden and System of a Down — as well as the likes of Korn, The Offspring, Deftones and Disturbed.

Speaking after the latest line-up announcement, Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage said: “We are honoured and excited to play the mighty Download festival once again.

“We are ready to kick out our new songs and play the old anthems as well. Download crowds are always incredible and we are eager to bring the mother f***ing ruckus.”

Download is one of the country’s biggest rock and metal festivals, and has been running every summer since 2003.
