Download Festival 2025: First-Time Headliners and Epic Line-Up Announced

The first headliners have been announced for Download Festival 2025, which is happening 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 in the history of the fans.

Joining these iconic headliners are an amazing roster that includes Jinjer, Bullet for My Valentine, Jimmy Eat World, and an extra special collaboration between Sex Pistols and Frank Carter. With even more artist announcements to come, this year’s Download promises something for every fan in a rich variety of genres and styles.

That’ll put Sleep Token as one of the most dynamic forces in modern heavy music onto the main stage alongside Korn and Green Day in a real milestone. It’s a prospect that’s already generating fevered excitement across social media-one fan commenting, “Headlining next to Korn and Green Day? Absolutely massive!

Download Festival 2025 continues to adopt the tradition of lining up emerging talent with iconic headlining acts-a dynamic formula that proved a resounding success in 2022 when Bring Me the Horizon shared top billing with Metallica and Slipknot.

Tickets go on general sale on Thursday, November 14th, with presales in the days leading up. For full ticketing information, visit the official Download Festival website.
