Stop Everything - Download Festival Australia Reveals 2018 Line-up

After months of build up, the line-up for Download Festival's inaugural Australian event is here and it has all been worth the hype. 

Headlining the 18-and-over festival, taking place at Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse on Saturday 24 March, is nu metal legends Korn, alongside fellow US acts, supergroup Prophets Of Rage and Limp Bizkit.

As promised, the bill has delivered a string of some huge international and local acts too, including Good Charlotte, Northlane, Mastodon, Clowns, NOFX, Suicidal Tendencies and Trophy Eyes.

“It is a great honour and very exciting that we are bringing Download Festival to Australia," Download founder, Andy Copping, said.

"Since the inception of Download UK in 2003, we have been looking for other territories to launch the festival and having successfully found a home for Download in France and Spain, we felt that the next country had to be Australia.

"Many rock fans from Australia have been in contact with us asking us to bring the festival to them – we have finally heard their calling and I cannot wait to put Download Australia on the map!"
