Busted, Enter Shikari and Wheatus have been added to “Liquid Death” Download Festival 2024.
The legendary festival, traditionally a backdrop for hard rock fans, returns to Donington Park in England for the 21st year in June and now many more artists have been added to the line-up.
‘What I Go To School For’ pop-rockers Busted said: “We feel honoured and privileged to be at Download Festival this year. To be on a list with many acts that have inspired us and continue to push us to be a better band is a real moment in our career. We’ve had the most amazing 12 months being Busted and can we add that to the list? We’re going to give it our all… Get ready to jump up and down with us and lose your mind.”
It will be the first time for Busted, but not for Charlie Simpson who appeared with Fightstar back in 2008. The latest announcement features the ‘Year 3000’ hitmakers alongside ‘Teenage Dirtbag’ group Wheatus and innovative Enter Shikari. Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello has also been confirmed, as have Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, Black Stone Cherry, Electric Callboy, The Struts, Of Mice And Men, Escape the Fate, Zebrahead and Code Orange. Mr Bungle, The Hunna, AViVA, HEALTH, Cemetery Sun, Asinhell, Guilt Trip, Ne Obliviscaris, Ithaca and Masters of Grove; Royal Republic round off the current list of bands.
They join previously announced headliners Queens of the Stone Age, Avenged Sevenfold and Fall Out Boy. Bands like Royal Blood, Machine Head, Pantera, Bad Omens, Sum 41, Billy Talent, Babymetal, Bowling For Soup, The Used and The Offspring are also set for the weekend. Download Festival returns June 14-16, with tickets available now.
