A mammoth rock event, based at the spiritual home of rock, Donington Park.
Tell me more...
What's on?
Download 2026 is an unashamedly metal-focused return to rock’s spiritual home, anchored by massive UK-exclusive sets from Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, and a long-awaited headline debut from Limp Bizkit.
Where is it?
Donington Park is the spiritual home of rock music!
The Roles
As a Wicked Volunteer at Download, you'll be taking on the role of "Facilities Monitor."
You'll be walking the site as part of a small team, supported by a Wicked Manager, to report on the conditions of the toilets, showers and general facilities across the site.
This is a physically demanding role - Download is a big site - expect a lot of walking!
Shifts are 0800 - 1400 and 1400 - 2000 Wednesday to Sunday, and you'll be required to work 3 shifts.
You'll get early entry (from Tuesday) and access to the crew campsite.
Download festival is open to returning Volunteers, and will require a £125 "top-up" to your £75 deposit (or a £200 deposit if you aren't coming to anything else this year!) This will be refunded the week after the show if you are eligible.
NOTE - EACH PERSON WILL BE INVITED FOR A SHORT CHAT BEFORE BEING ACCEPTED TO DOWNLOAD.
DO NOT PAY YOUR £125 DOWNLOAD TOP UP OR £200 DEPOSIT BEFORE BEING ACCECPTED.
