And the possibilities for festivals in 2021 are dwindling: after Glastonbury and Hellfest , Download Festival is officially cancelled… but all is not lost, as the event has already announced the lineup for the 2022 edition.
The announcement was made today, the 1st, on the social media channels of the event that was to take place in June 2021, and justifies the cancellation by citing recent British health guidelines regarding the pandemic, despite vaccination already underway.
To try and keep the spirits up of fans who secured their tickets for the event, the festival has confirmed the 2022 edition, which is scheduled to take place between June 10th and 12th, and has already announced the first big names in the lineup: Iron Maiden, KISS , and Biffy Clyro . More names will be announced soon, and for those who did not purchase tickets for the canceled editions, ticket sales begin this Friday, the 5th.
