The Prince Of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne is the first headliner to be announced for Download Festival 2018, closing down the festival on the Sunday.

Download Festival’s promoter, Andy Copping says: “We’re unbelievably excited to have Ozzy as one of the headliners next year. Already hailing from the midlands, Ozzy Osbourne is no stranger to Download, and after Black Sabbath closed the festival in 2016, how could I not ask The Prince of Darkness to come back all on his own? The Download family are without a shadow of a doubt, in for a treat.”

The three day festival will run from 8 – 10 June 2018 at the legendary Donington Park, Leicestershire. Tickets are on sale at downloadfestival.co.uk/tickets

The two other headliners are yet to be announced, but watch this space for details coming soon.
