After weeks of speculation, including our own sleuthing, the organisers of Download Festival have finally revealed more names set to perform at Donnington Park this July.
Of the 20 more acts that have been revealed earlier this afternoon, they include the return of Rise Against: a formidable force in punk rock since 1999. Known for their melodic hardcore sound and politically charged lyrics, the band addresses pressing issues such as political injustice, animal rights, humanitarianism, and environmentalism.

Hide AdSweden's Opeth stands as a pillar in the progressive metal scene. Formed in 1990, the band masterfully blends elements of death metal, progressive rock, and folk, creating a unique and evolving soundscape. Led by Mikael Åkerfeldt, Opeth is celebrated for their intricate compositions, seamless genre fusion, and profound lyrical themes.
Bringing the thrash, Municipal Waste from Richmond, Virginia, injects high-octane energy into the metal community. Since their formation in 2001, they've been delivering fast-paced, crossover thrash anthems that ignite mosh pits and embody the spirit of old-school metal.
