Download Festival is returning to our shores next March in all of its punk, rock and metal glory, bringing stageloads of local and international riff lords & ladies together into one monster mosh going down in Sydney and Melbourne.
It’s sure to spell a whole heap of FOMO for anyone living in Australia’s other capital cities, but luckily for those poor bumpkins, there’s plenty of sideshow action to quench your thirst for all things horn-raising and neck-snapping.
With that in mind, we’ve compiled a handy list of all the Download sideshows heading across the nation in 2020 — including Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, New Years Day and more — and we’ll keep updating it as more drop.
Check out the list below, and head here for the full Download Festival 2020 lineup so far.
