First held in 2003, the Download Festival takes place in Donington Park, in Leicestershire, each year - with the biggest names in rock playing to a rawcous audience.
It belatedly took the place of the much-loved Monsters of Rock Festival, last held in the same venue in 1996.
Over the years it has had a string of high profile headliners over the years, including the like of Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Slipknot, Metallica, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Kiss, Faith No More, and Guns N' Roses.
Last year saw Green Day, Sleep Token, and Korn close the three days on the main stage.
The first lineup announcement is set to be announced in October with the festival taking place from June 10-14.
Here are 12 bands that could be topping the bill - from near-certs to longshots.
9. Architects
Architects played second on the bill to Bring Me The Horizon at Download 2023. Could it be time for them to step up to the top spot? They have a new album in the shape of 'The Sky, the Earth & All Between' and will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of debut album 'Nightmares'. Download loves an anniversary... | Contributed
10. Megadeath
Next year is a huge one for Megadeath - with their final album coming out, followed by a global farewell tour before they hang up their electric guitars for good. Wouldn't it be nice if they popped by Donington Park to say goodbye to the Download crowd? They were a highlight of the 2022 festival when they played the second stage. | Getty Images for SiriusXM
11. The Prodigy
The Prodigy attracted a huge crowd at Glastonbury this year, with an intense and celebratory set. They headlined Download in 2012 and, judging by their current form, there's no reason they couldn't again. | Getty Images
