Another year, another stellar edition of Download. The festival’s 2026 event took place last weekend (June 12-14) and while, sure, Guns N Roses’ headline set wasn’t to everyone’s taste, the rest of the bill delivered and a whopping 95,000 attendees enjoyed Download’s most diverse lineup ever. Plus, get this: the new-look main stage is now apparently the biggest single stage of any UK festival.
