Funeral For A Friend, The Distillers added to Download Festival 2020

The 2020 installment of Download Festival was already loaded with acts such as System of a Down, Killswitch Engage, and Babymetal. Today, the organizers shook things up by adding over 40 more acts.

One noticeable act is Funeral For A Friend, who reunited for benefit shows last summer. The band will be headlining the The Avalanche Stage, which also features newly announced band Bowling For Soup. The Main Stage will be rocked by newly added groups Alter Bridge, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, and Wage War. For the Second Stage, The Distillers, Mastodon, and The Darkness will make their presence felt. The Dogtooth Stage will be electrified by performances from Sepultura, Higher Power, and Haken.

You can check the updated festival lineup below. Download Festival takes place at England’s Donington Park from June 12 through June 14. Tickets are on sale right now.
