Biffy Clyro, System Of a Down and Aerosmith will lead the annual charge of hard rock at Download Festival next year.

The three headliners are joined on the Donington Park bill between 9th-11th June by the likes of Slayer, AFI, Five Finger Death Punch, Of Mice & Men, Every Time I Die and The Story So Far.




“Every time we go on tour I look at the schedule for cities, towns or events that I look forward to playing. Download Festival is always one of the ones I circle,” Joe Perry of Aerosmith says.

“Donington is like home to us. I have some great memories playing there and I can’t wait to make some more.”

“It’ll have been a couple of years since our memorable Wake Up The Souls show at Wembley, so returning to the UK to headline Download, a festival we always love to play, is really exciting for us,” System Of a Down adds.
