The Download Festival will take place in June for the first time in three years at Donington Park and festival-goers are being promised lots of extra features, attractions and improvements after the long lay-off. These include more hard-standing especially for the Village area, better and more accessible car parks and close camping sites to the main arena.
It will have been a massive 1,092 days - between Tool closing the last full Download festival on June 16, 2019 and Heriot playing the first guitar chords on June 10 - since the festival proper took place.
Last year, a pilot festival was allowed to take place with just 10,000 fans but many people still have tickets they purchased for the full 2020 festival, which was cancelled because of the Covid pandemic.
