Download Festival reveals 2025 lineup with Green Day, Sleep Token, and Korn as headliners

Download Festival has announced over 90 bands for its 2025 lineup, featuring headliners Green Day, Sleep Token, and Korn. Other confirmed acts include Weezer, Bullet For My Valentine, and Spiritbox. The festival will take place from June 13 to 15 at Castle Donington. This will be the first Download Festival where all headliners are making their debut at the top of the bill. Green Day has never performed at Donington Park, while Sleep Token's rise to headliner status reflects their growing popularity. In 2024, the festival faced criticism for its lineup, which lacked metal acts. This year, it will return with a diverse range of artists, aiming to attract a wider audience. Tickets go on sale on November 14.
