Download Festival 2024 is here….Yaaaay!

Day # one sees some rain but the sunshine makes a welcome appearance and the forecast for the weekend is very promising. So, let the music and fun begin.

The annual heavy metal and hard rock celebration weekend in June – which draws fans from around the world to the Leicestershire site [circa 75,000] – has a mouth watering 2024 lineup; with the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, Royal Blood, Fallout Boy, The Offspring, Avenged Sevenfold, LimpBizkit, Funeral For A Friend, Pantera, Machine Head…

And even Busted [yep, really!] scheduled across the three days, plus many, many, many more across several stages. Ace snapper Jason Sheldon is back in the pit to capture a bunch of “Hot Shots” for us on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Today, day one, Jason caught these guys in the act: Queens Of The Stone Age, The Struts, Royal Blood, Black Stone Cherry and The Blue Stones.

Much more to come on Saturday and Sunday as Jason sends images from the festival site to us within minutes of each band and artist’s set.
