Download Festival 2025: First-Time Headliners and Epic Line-Up Announced
The legendary Download Festival has officially unveiled an electrifying line-up for 2025, blending fan-favourites with trailblazing new talent for a weekend to remember. Taking place from 13th to 15th June at Donington Park, this year’s festival will see Green Day, Sleep Token, and Korn headlining for the very first time, marking a historic occasion for fans.
In addition to these iconic headliners, the line-up includes an impressive roster featuring acts like Jinjer, Bullet for My Valentine, Jimmy Eat World, and a unique collaboration with Sex Pistols and Frank Carter. With even more artist announcements on the way, this year’s Download promises a rich variety of genres and styles for every fan.
Sleep Token, one of the most dynamic forces in modern heavy music, will take the main stage alongside Korn and Green Day in a momentous milestone. Fans are already buzzing on social media, with one noting, “Headlining next to Korn and Green Day? Absolutely massive!”
Download Festival 2025 continues its tradition of pairing emerging talent with iconic headliners—a dynamic formula that proved a massive success in 2022 when Bring Me the Horizon shared top billing with Metallica and Slipknot.
