Download 2027 line-up: Blink-182 to headline on festival debut

Next year’s Download will be a first for Blink-182, who emerged from the California skate punk scene in the 1990s.

They’ve had two UK top 10 singles and had their first number one album in 2016, 21 years after their first record.

Their drummer Travis Barker is married to Kourtney Kardashian and survived a plane crash in the US that killed four people in 2008.

British rockers Bring Me The Horizon are more familiar to Download regulars, headlining for the second time in five years.

The four-piece band, formed in Sheffield, announced earlier this year they’re celebrating 20 years of the debut album Count Your Blessings by re-recording it.

That 2006 record was in the deathcore genre, known for its heavy and aggressive sound, but the band have since moved towards metalcore, pop and electronic rock.

Some fans questioned if the original lyrics, which frontman Oli Sykes admitted could be interpreted as misogynistic, were still appropriate.

But the 39-year-old lead vocalist told the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show that going back to their roots was “a lot of fun” as they “got to remake the album how we wanted it to sound back then”.
