“The 2025 edition of Download Festival is set to be a landmark event, with Sleep Token taking the stage as one of the headliners alongside Green Day and Korn. This marks a significant milestone for the anonymous masked collective, who have rapidly risen to prominence since their formation in 2016. Sleep Token’s inclusion as a headliner is a testament to their meteoric rise and the impact they have made on the heavy music scene, with millions of monthly listeners and recent arena headlining shows under their belt.
Download Festival founder Andy Copping has defended the decision to feature Sleep Token as a headliner, highlighting the band’s deserving status due to their immense growth and popularity over the last two years. Copping noted that Download has a history of elevating newer bands to headlining status, citing examples like Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, and Bring Me The Horizon, and believes that Sleep Token is ready for this moment.
The festival, taking place from June 13-15, 2025, at Donington Park in Leicestershire, will feature a diverse lineup that includes other notable acts such as Weezer, Bullet For My Valentine, Jimmy Eat World, Spiritbox, and Sex Pistols with Frank Carter. With over 90 artists announced so far and more to be revealed, Download Festival 2025 promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of rock, metal, and alternative music. Tickets are now available, with presales already live and general sales starting on November 14 at 9 PM.” (Perplexity)
