On June 12, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. local time at Donington Park in Castle Donington, England, fans will once again gather to celebrate our friend, our brother, and one of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest icons, Lemmy Kilmister, at the legendary Download festival.

A miniature of Lemmy’s custom urn containing a portion of his ashes will be enshrined in a vessel which represents one of Lemmy’s true loves in life – the classic fruit machine.

“It remains a responsibility we proudly carry,” MOTÖRHEAD manager Todd Singerman says of the Lemmy Forever ceremony.

“Not everyone can make the pilgrimage to visit Lemmy in Hollywood, so we are bringing Lem back to his fans. These places meant something to him, and they mean something to the people who loved him. It’s important that they have somewhere they can come, raise a glass, share a story, and spend a moment with him.”

The ceremony will also give fans a chance to pay their respects for Lemmy’s bandmate, longtime guitarist Phil Campbell, who tragically passed away in March of this year.
