The Download Stage returns to The Great Escape

News + Features

The Download Stage is crashing The Great Escape once again and we’re bringing some serious firepower with us! Whether you’re scouting your new favourite band or watching Download returnees up close, our stage at The Volks is one you don’t want to sleep on!

Mouth Culture

Thursday

Mouth Culture are set to headline after storming both the RIP stage and the main arena in 2024.  They’re joined by Twenty One Children, Bruise Control, and LUNA KILLS, kicking off the weekend with a loud bang!

Karen Dió

Friday

Friday is stacked with names already locked in for #DLXXII. Karen Dió takes the headline slot, with Zetra and Artio also set to perform. All three will be taking over the main arena at Donington this summer. Add in Wayside’s melodic heaviness, and it’s a line-up built for maximum impact.

VOWER

Saturday

We close things out with Vower at the top of the bill, fresh from their main arena announcement for #DLXXII. The chaos continues with James and the Cold Gun, while BEX returns following her RIP stage debut in 2024, and she’s already set to take on Donington’s main arena next!

The rest of Saturday? Non-stop. Defences, Lowen, and Jayler are all RIP-bound this year. Angel Number, Last Train, and Letters Sent Home bring the intensity, heart, and heavy. Every one of them ready to make their mark.
