Blink-182 will make their Download Festival debut in 2027, joining Evanescence and Bring Me The Horizon as headliners at the five-day rock and metal event in Leicestershire.
More than 100 acts are due to play at Donington Park from 9 to 13 June. The bill also includes The Prodigy, 5 Seconds of Summer, Mötley Crüe, Turnstile, Faith No More and Body Count featuring Ice-T, with further acts still to be announced.
For Evanescence, the booking marks a second milestone: the band, led by singer Amy Lee, will be Download’s second female-fronted headliner. It is the second year running that a female-led band has topped the bill, after Linkin Park headlined in 2025.
Bring Me The Horizon will headline for the second time in five years. The Sheffield band have announced plans to re-record their 2006 debut album, *Count Your Blessings*, for its 20th anniversary.
Tickets go on general sale at 10:00 GMT on Sunday. Some pre-sale tickets are already available.
