Download Festival

The French edition of Download Festival, a spinoff of the British event, was held at the former Brétigny-sur-Orge air base after debuting in Paris at the Longchamp racecourse in 2016. Its lineup covers rock, hard rock, metal and punk rock, following the format of the original Donington Park franchise. The 2017 edition drew more than 120,000 attendees over the weekend.
