Download Confirms Guns N Roses As Final Headliner For 2018


Guns N Roses will spend 2018 as the third year of their mostly sold-out “Not In This Lifetime” reunion tour, and now they will serve as the Friday night headliner for Download 2018! The band has played 100 shows worldwide and sold 1 million tickets since reuniting and completing their first extensive touring since 1993. The line-up of GNR includes original members Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, plus Dizzy Reed, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer and Melissa Reese.

Download Festival’s Promoter, Andy Copping commented:

It’s great to have this iconic line up of Guns N’ Roses headlining at Download. I am sure I am not alone when I say I have been wanting this to happen for years. It will be an incredible show and will be one of the highlights of the Download weekend!”

Earlier this week Download Festival revealed that Ozzy Osbourne and Avenged Sevenfold as the other two headliners for the weekend.
