Linkin Park to headline 2026 Download festival

Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Guns N' Roses are set to headline the 2026 Download festival in June. The three-day event will feature 90 rock and metal acts, including Pendulum, Cypress Hill, Babymetal, and Black Veil Brides. Linkin Park's performance will be historic as it will mark the first time a female-fronted band has headlined the festival, with Emily Armstrong as their new lead singer following Chester Bennington's passing.
