Popular food vendor pulls out of Download Festival 2026 last minute due to supplier issue

A popular food vendor has pulled out of Download Festival 2026 at the last minute due to an issue with suppliers.

Lost Souls Pizza is a vampire-themed pizzeria in Camden, London, famous for its black charcoal pizzas, gothic décor, horror-movie atmosphere, and themed cocktails.

The vendor, which is regularly featured on the list eateries at Download, is so popular with rock fans that many pack their merch to wear during the festival.

But fans were left gutted when the company announced they would not be at the festival this year.

The post, which has gained more than 1,700 likes, said: “We're gutted to share that Lost Souls Pizza will no longer be at Download this year due to a supplier issue.

“A huge amount of work, time and love went into getting everything ready. Our whole team put their hearts into this, so we're absolutely heartbroken not to make it over the finish line.

“Massive thanks to Live Nation for the opportunity, and to everyone who was planning to find us there.

“We're so sorry to disappoint you, and we really hope to see you at Download next year.”

Fans took to the comments to share their devastation. One user said: “These souls are indeed lost and so is a pizza our hearts.”

Another added: “We love you anyways, We'll just have to buy twice as many next time!”

A third commented: “Gutted for you guys. Hopefully you could join us at one of our events soon.”

The news comes as campers are starting to arrive in Donington Park for the return the festival. Thousands of rock fans are set to descend the area, near East Midlands Airport, from today (June 10) until Sunday (June 14), with headline performances from Guns N Roses, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.
