Download 2024: Full list of festival headliners including Fall Out Boy and Avenged Sevenfold

Download Festival has announced all three headliners and a first wave of more than 80 bands for 2024.

Topping the bill next June are debut headliners Queens of the Stone Age and Fall Out Boy.

Download Festival's Andy Copping said they "couldn't be more excited" for the three-day event at Donington Park.

Avenged Sevenfold complete the trio of headliners next summer, after previously headlining the festival in 2014 and 2018.

The band's guitarist Synyster Gates said: "We are super excited to be playing Download for the third time but as they say the third time is a charm, so hopefully we get it right this time!

"We appreciate everyone coming back and joining in the madness and the fun."

The Offspring, Royal Blood and Pantera, who are making their first UK appearance in 20 years, also join the festival lineup between June 14 and 16 next year.

'It is our home'

Mr Copping added: "This year we have two brand new headliners in the form of Queens Of The Stone Age and Fall Out Boy, as well as the mighty Avenged Sevenfold and a whole host of huge names that make every second of Download Festival memorable.

"I can't wait to join the fans there – it is our home."

He said: "We have the best and friendliest community together and we can't wait to celebrate the next 20 years of Download with you all."

Other acts on the weekend bill include Machine Head, Bad Omens, Corey Taylor, While She Sleeps, Billy Talent, BABYMETAL, Bowling For Soup and Atreyu.

Canadian punk rock band Sum 41, who announced in May that they would disband after 27 years, will play their final UK festival at DLXXI.

This year's festival featured an extra fourth day and headliner to celebrate its 20th anniversary but was marred by extreme traffic delays, with festival-goers queuing for hours to access the site.

Tickets for Download Festival 2024 go on general sale at 9pm on Thursday, November 9.
