Download Festival’s Promoter, Andy Copping said, "We're incredibly excited to announce the Download 2017 headliners. We have three giants of rock and metal topping the bill. As always, Download fans can expect world class performances across the weekend. You won't want to miss a thing.

"System of a Down made headline history back in 2011 and 2017 will no doubt see them bigger and better than ever. Saturday’s headliner, Biffy Clyro, have raised the bar for rock music – we're always looking for bands to make their Download headline debut, and I have no doubt they'll be worthy of the title. I'm delighted the mighty Aerosmith will be back, and their closing set will be something truly special. The band has a long history with Donington, and having them headline for us again is a real honour."

In total around 150 acts appear over five stages over the three days of the festival. There are no other acts confirmed yet for 2017 fans can expect three days of heavy rock music featuring around 150 acts over five stages at Donington Park, the spiritual home of rock!
