Taking place at Donington Park, next to East Midlands Airport, Download Festival has been a must-visit event for rock fans all over since its 2003 debut. Many of the genre’s biggest names have entertained audiences across two decades, such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Guns N' Roses.
After having to abide by restrictions for two years, the festival is back in full force for 2022, with a stellar line-up across the long weekend. Tickets can still be purchased on the Download website, just three days before it all begins.
For those who will be in attendance, fully brief yourself on all the set times for the extended weekend to familiarise yourself with who will be playing where and when.
