Fingers crossed, Download Fest 2021 is scheduled to go down June 4-6, 2021 in Donnington, UK. The festival announced the majority of their lineup today, and it will be Kiss, Biffy Clyro and System of A Down respectively headlining each not of the three day rock and metal party.
Obviously, a lot of the acts were booked on the 2020 edition of the fest, before it got canceled. Sadly, Iron Maiden will not be making the bill, and they were the Saturday headliners for this year.
