Blink-182 to headline Download Festival for the first time in 2027

Blink-182 will be making their debut appearance as headliners at the upcoming Download Festival, which takes place from June 9 to 13 in Leicestershire. They will be joined at the top of the bill by Evanescence and Bring Me The Horizon, alongside more than 100 other rock and metal acts including The Prodigy and Mötley Crüe. Evanescence's appearance marks a notable milestone as they become the festival's second female-fronted headliner, following Linkin Park in 2025. Tickets for the multi-day rock event go on general sale this weekend.
