The UK’s premier rock and metal event, Download Festival, will make its epic return to Donington Park from Wednesday 10 June to Sunday 14 June 2026. Following a monumental 2025 edition, Download 2026 promises to deliver another unforgettable five days of world-class live music, community spirit, and full-throttle festival energy.

This week’s New Noise (12/09) roundup is stacked with genre-defying releases and unexpected comebacks. Chase Atlantic dive deeper into their dark, hypnotic alt-R&B lane with a sleek new single, while Demi Lovato continues her return to pure pop, delivering a polished, infectious track. Limp Bizkit crash back onto the scene with a chaotic blend of nostalgia and nu-metal energy, and Twenty One Pilots drop a cryptic, emotionally layered track that pushes their narrative further into uncharted territory.
