Download Festival is arguably one of the biggest and most popular music festivals in the UK.
Last year 130,000 people descended upon Donington Park, just over the border in Leicestershire, for the festival’s 20th anniversary.
This year’s event will take place from June 14th-16th and will be headlined by Queens of the Stone Age, Avenged Sevenfold and Fall Out Boy.
Over the years some major acts have performed at the UK’s premiere rock and heavy metal festival - drawing in fans from across the UK.
As this year’s event gets ever-closer, we have decided to take a look back at some old photos from the main stage over the years.
