On Valentine’s Day, Download Festival shared an intriguing teaser. Surrounded by a romantic heart design, it reads:

“Save the Day
23.02.2026”

So we can expect an announcement next Monday — exactly one week from now. Whether it will be a new band wave, the first day splits, or a completely different update remains to be seen. What’s certain is that members of the Download Family will hear the news first, and it will no doubt also appear on Instagram.
