Skindred and Will Haven Amongst Fourteen New Download Festival Additions
Skindred, Will Haven and Heriot are amongst fourteen new additions to the Download Festival line-up. Get all the latest info here.
Returning after a two-year break, Download Festival has announced a further fourteen acts to an already stacked card set to be headlined by KISS, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro.
Heading up the announcement for the rock weekender which takes place from June 10th to 12th, organisers have today announced the return of the mighty Skindred who have landed a slot on the Main Stage on Friday.
Having been one of the acts who performed at the Download Pilot in 2021, Skindred are unsurprisingly excited about their return. “Playing the Download pilot after being locked down for a year and a half was an amazing experience so being invited back to our favourite festival and spiritual home to play alongside the likes of KISS and Maiden is a dream come true. Plus we have some amazing rockin’ new tunes which we cannot wait for you all to hear.”
The full list of acts added to the bill reads as follows:
Skindred
Heriot
Yonaka
Kid Brunswick
SKYND
Will Haven
The Velveteers
Alestorm
Dana Dentata
Orbit Culture
Red Fang
Banks Arcade
Dirty Honey
The full Download experience makes a welcome return to the rock calendar in June 2022 after a two-year absence and you can check out our coverage of the Government-sanctioned Download Festival Pilot which took place earlier this Summer right here.
Tickets and more information can be found on the Official Download Festival Website.
