Download Festival 2024: set and stage times revealed ahead of the metal festival’s 21st anniversary

The wait is over; will you have to sacrifice seeing Queens of The Stone Age to catch another band on Friday at Castle Donnington, or are Fall Out Boy going to pre-empt anything else at Download Festival 2024 for yourselves?

The full stage and set times have now been launched through the festival’s official app, bringing to an end speculation on who is going to play at what time and, above all else, when the mandatory eating times between moshing from stage to stage should be.

So what are those all-important set and stage times for the main areas at Download Festival 2024? Plus, if you’re still on the fence about attending, is it good news for late ticket buyers or are you out of luck as the former “Monsters of Rock” festival celebrates 21 years of making metal fans’ heads bang?

What are the main stage times for Download Festival 2024?

All details are correct as of writing - for any last-minute changes, NationalWorld Music recommends downloading the official Download Festival app for Android and Apple devices.
