Here’s when the next Download Festival 2025 announcement is coming

After unveiling over 90 acts in their first wave, Download Festival have revealed when the next band announcement for 2025 is dropping.

Via their newly-launched Download Family – which offers monthly perks including merch discounts, ticket pre-sales and more – the festival has confirmed that on Tuesday, February 18 at 4pm, fans can expect the second update to this year’s line-up.

So far, of course, we know that Green Day, Sleep Token and Korn will be headlining Donington Park from June 13 – 15, while elsewhere 2025’s bill includes the likes of Weezer, Sex Pistols, Bullet For My Valentine, Spiritbox, Jimmy Eat World and loads more.

Interestingly, at the end of last year, Download teased that things could be particularly curious on the Sleep Token front, as seeing them at Donington is your chance to “Witness the next chapter”.

Either way, stay tuned…
