This summer’s mega Download features not one, not two, but three first-time headliners: there’s the unbelievable ascent of Sleep Token, nu-metal kings Korn getting their moment, and of course, festival and stadium-conquering legends Green Day.

Ahead of their massive return to the UK, we catch up with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong about the past 18 months on their phenomenal Saviors era, as well as recent achievements like ruling Coachella and getting their Walk Of Fame star. And it’s safe to say that Donington will be yet another triumph for rock’s biggest, most unbeatable band…

Elsewhere in the summer print issue, Jeremy McKinnon walks us through A Day To Remember’s most memorable gigs, Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale bigs-up all her musical heroes, Rob Halford tells us some wild tales from the road with Judas Priest, and Jason Aalon reveals everything about the vital and emotional return of letlive. for their farewell tour.

On top of that, Lyndsey Gunnulfsen of PVRIS talks 10 years of White Noise and headlining 2000trees, we get to know the mighty Mouth Culture, Bambie Thug prepares to cast a whole new spell, Lowen invite us into their extraordinary world, and Sharon Osbourne reveals how she’s made July’s Back To The Beginning all-star celebration of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath a reality…

Plus, there’s posters of Architects, Nova Twins and YUNGBLUD!

As well as the online store, if you are in the UK you can pick up a copy from WHSmith or all good noiseagents and independent stores.
