Details of the artists performing at Download Festival Japan 2022 and ticket sales have yet to be announced. Updates on the festival and registration for its mailing list are available on its official website.

Helmed by event organisers Live Nation and Creativeman Productions, Download Festival Japan debuted in 2019 with headliners Slayer, Arch Enemy, Sum 41, Halestorm, and more. The festival had announced its return in 2020 with headliners My Chemical Romance alongside Ministry, Amon Amarth and more, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.






Download Festival in the UK opened ticket sales for its 2022 festival last week. The event, which is taking place at Donington Park in Leicestershire between June 10 and 12 this year, will feature headliners KISS, Iron Maiden, Deftones, Korn, Biffy Clyro, among others.

Other summer festivals going ahead in Japan this year include Summer Sonic in July and Fuji Rock in August.
