Download Festival 2022 adds Skindred among 14 more acts to line-up
Download Festival has announced the latest additions to its 2022 line-up, with Welsh heavy-metal band Skindred and Yonaka among the new names joining the star-studded line-up.
The festival will return from June 10-12 at Donington Park in Leicestershire - where KISS, Iron Maiden and Biffy Clyro are set to headline.
Festival organisers confirmed that Skindred, Yonaka, Alestorm, Banks Arcade, Bimini, Dana Dentata, Dirty Honey, Heriot, Kid Brunswick, Orbit Culture, Red Fang, The Velveteers and Will Haven have joined the line-up.
Last year, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes headlined the first night of the historic Download Pilot event, which welcomed the return of camping festivals to the UK during the Covid pandemic.
The 10,000-capacity event, which saw other headliners Bullet for My Valentine and Enter Shikari, signalled the legendary rock festival making a small-scale return for a three-day camping pilot.
When and where does Download Festival 2022 take place?
Download Festival will take place between 10-12 of June 2022, with camping available on site from Wednesday, June 8.
It will take place at Donington Park in Leicestershire, the same location as the former Monsters of Rock festival.
