Korn, Mastodon, Prophets of Rage, and Northlane will bring the noise at Australia’s first-ever Download Festival.

The loudest event on the UK festival calendar, Download, is expanding from its historic 15-year stronghold in Donnington into Paris, Madrid, and now Melbourne, Australia for a one-day belter featuring 28 bands rocking out over four stages.

Nu-metal mainstays Korn and Limp Bizkit will headline (as previously rumoured) alongside the mighty Mastodon, punk icons NOFX, Good Charlotte, and Prophets of Rage - the supergroup featuring 3/4 of Rage Against The Machine fronted by Public Enemy MC Chuck D and Cypress Hill’s B Real.

As promised by Download Melbourne producer Nigel Melder, 1/3 of the line-up is Aussie, throwing a spotlight on national juggernauts Northlane, Ocean Grove, Trophy Eyes, King Parrot, Clowns and more. The homegrown heavyweights will be performing side-by-side with internationals like French metallers Gojira, California’s Of Mice & Men, Swedish shredders Amon Amarth and Sabaton, the terrifyingly noisy Nails, and the controversial Falling In Reverse. Check out the one-day line-up in full below.
