Download Festival announce 2025 stage times

Download Festival have just announced this year’s stage times in full.

Before the Donington Park weekender gets going next month, you can start planning everyone you want to see now, while hopefully not having to make too many painful choices over clashes.

Two out of the three first-time headliners – Green Day and Sleep Token – will be getting two-hour sets on the Apex Stage; the former will be coming onstage at 8:50pm on Friday, June 13 and leaving at 10:50pm, while Vessel and co. will do the same the following night, only five minutes later. Korn, meanwhile, will be closing the festival on Sunday, June 15 between 9:25pm and 10:55pm.

All three Apex sub-headliners – Weezer, Shinedown and Bullet For My Valentine – will get 70-minute sets on their respective days, and underneath them, Jimmy Eat World, Don Broco and Spiritbox will be performing for an hour each. Opus Stage headliners Within Temptation will be playing between 7:35pm and 8:50pm on the Friday, as will Sex Pistols and Frank Carter on the Saturday. Then, on Sunday, Steel Panther will conclude Opus proceedings from 8:05pm to 9:15pm.

You can download the app now to check out all the timings, or alternatively see them individually on the Download artists page.
