Download Festival recently made a historic announcement, revealing that Liquid Death will become the first-ever headline partner in its 21-year history. Liquid Death previously partnered with the festival as a still and sparkling water provider at last year’s 20th-anniversary event. Interestingly, festival attendees consumed more than twice the amount of water compared to the previous year.
The headline sponsorship was announced just five days before the revelation of Download Festival’s 2024 lineup, scheduled for Tuesday, November 7th.
Unlike last year’s special 20th-anniversary celebration, Download Festival will revert to its traditional three-day format. The festival will occur from Friday, June 14th, to Sunday, June 16th, with campers holding five-day tickets permitted to arrive from Wednesday, June 12th, to establish their campsites.
Download Festival is a renowned rock and metal music festival held annually in the United Kingdom. Established in 2003, the festival has grown into one of the premier events in the global rock music calendar, attracting thousands of fans from around the world. The inaugural Download Festival took place at the Donington Park racetrack in Leicestershire, succeeding the iconic Monsters of Rock festival that had been a fixture at the venue for many years.
Download Festival quickly gained recognition for its diverse lineup, featuring a mix of established rock and metal acts alongside emerging artists. The festival has showcased a wide range of sub-genres, including classic rock, punk, hardcore, and heavy metal. Over the years, it has hosted performances by legendary bands such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Guns N’ Roses, solidifying its status as a must-attend event for rock enthusiasts.
