DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 2025 LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT REACTION

[@tompilkington7579]

Easily one of my favourite line ups, green day were long overdue to play the festival so super happy to see them on the headline spot and sleep token have earned that place as a headliner they’ve blown up so much and the success they’ve had so far is amazing and they’re gonna smash it out the park and it’s epic to see Korn finally in that headline spot after they’re 2022 set proving they could take on headliner, plus mega hyped for the ghost inside and spiritbox 🤘🏻

[@TheDilCam]

Helll yessss

[@dylanince2074]

I love this lineup to put it into context i go to bloodstock and download every year but this download is such a great mix with top class bands top to bottom. Is not everything on there for me yes but it doesn't need to be but from green day to graphic nature and tons of bands in between its great. Think that bullet set is a poison set as well as thats there old logo not there new one they have been using. Its also nice to see download strike when the iron is hot for once with sleep token rather than waiting like 5 years too late

[@TheDilCam]

Bloodstock is yet to win me over with their lineups. I never know enough of the bands on their announcements. This lineup is incredible 🤘

[@DarthRobertus33]

Like others, really pleased to see positive energy vibes! Half the people complaining probably went to Download 10 years ago (once I should point out) and will never go again. If you want heavier do Bloodstock which is an excellent festival. Korn is long overdue and well deserved! Keep up the good work my man! 🤘

[@TheDilCam]

This one is extremely positive compared to my lineup reaction for 2024 hahah. Bloodstock is yet to win me over as never usually know more than 4/5 bands on their lineups. It doesn't excite me really. Thanks though man!

[@warrenstandcumbe641]

Great Vid....but to much pop rather than rock, Bloodstock sold out says it all really, how can you have a band with only 3 albums headlining....looks like someone is trying to save some money...

[@mattm600]

MCR formed in 2001 and headlined 2007 with 3 albums. Linkin Park formed in 1996 and headlined in 2004 with only two albums.

[@nemesis8626]

​@@mattm600 difference there being hybrid theory by linkin park is literally the second highest metal album ever and MCR are far bigger than Sleep token also

[@TheDilCam]

Where's the pop exactly?

[@TheDilCam]

Also, the bloodstock lineups bore me. I'd sooner take a bunch of relevant alternative rock bands over a bunch of heavy metal bands nobody listens too lol.

[@Olliemavs619]

Sleep Token on headline sold out arena tours. They’re a headliner

[@sambarnett1851]

Not the strongest download for me personally but there is something for everyone and korn FINALLY headlining is brilliant

[@TheDilCam]

@@sambarnett1851 true that

[@SuperLiamc123]

The moment sleep token sold out the o2 in a really quick fashion i said straight up if download dont have them headlining then they have missed a trick

[@traviswilliams3366]

Sleep Token had the most streamed metal album on Spotify in 2023. 357 Million streams and Metallica had 24 million and you say Sleep Token isn’t big? That’s crazy.

[@Morgan08-mx5hx]

Do you go to bloodstock, great lineup in 2025

[@TheDilCam]

@@Morgan08-mx5hx nah its not my thing really, I only ever know like 3 or 4 bands on those metal line ups.

[@darrencartledge6530]

Cool line up,copping finally having tge courage to push a band,sleep token are the hype band of the moment and taking advantage of that is spot on.bmth were well over a decade late as headliners because copping wouldnt take the risk.download has got to evolve and adapt fast.and theres bleed from within,the best british metal band right now.

[@CylonModel2]

Keep doing what you are doing mate. Always like your positivity. Sleep Token the best headliner this year.

[@TheDilCam]

Thanks dude, love comments like this! 🤘

[@Everton-1119]

Truly stoked for the Headliners far better than this year. Can’t wait.

[@thenegative0ne_]

Very excited! A lot of our fave bands on there and a few we have never seen together 🖤🖤

[@TheDilCam]

Oh yes finally Bullet 🖤🖤

[@Olliemavs619]

25 bands I wanna see so far it’s a great lineup unless your stuck in the 1990’s

[@TheDilCam]

@@Olliemavs619 the right attitude

[@cfennn]

My first year going and it does look like a good line-up but don't more bands join until the day?

[@TheDilCam]

There will be a second announcement of many more bands in early 2025.

[@cheeseburgervlogs]

It’s a decent lineup overall, but I feel bad for BFMV being overtaken by sleep token. Sleep token will either go down really well or will be rinsed for being a boring headliner. Happy with green day and korn , but fuck me it’s taken forever to get them! 😂 some good bands hidden down low too (meshuggah) At least a day ticket for me, maybe a cheap weekend ticket when people stick theirs up for resale ;)

[@TheDilCam]

@@cheeseburgervlogs hopefully Bullet will get there eventually!

[@nemesis8626]

Green day, Mcfly and Sleep token, no offence to fans of those bands, too each their own but download seems like its getting lighter and lighter every year, Korn it could be argued should of had a headlining slot sooner than this and are great live but man out of this entire announcement theres only like 4 bands that peak my intrest and from those 4,Whitechapel and Sylosis most probably will get ridiculously small sets judging by the last couple of years

[@TheDilCam]

It's certainly getting less 'heavy metal' and more alternative rock, diverse bands. Luckily I'm here for it, mostly.

[@nikkirose1719]

I'm an elder and no complaints from me 😁. Really looking forward to Sleep Token headlining, looks like I'll get a great view too as there won't be many people going to see them, given the amount of complaining 😂. Can't wait to see Spiritbox not in a cramped tent 🙌. Two of my kids were definitely not doing Download next year, now are doing Download next year after seeing that line up 😁 💜

[@TheDilCam]

Love this. The right mind set to have!

[@devestatingH]

Can't wait to see Melted Bodies!

[@TheDilCam]

@@devestatingH idk who they are!

[@devestatingH]

@@TheDilCam Give them a listen! you wont be disappointed

[@iamchilibeef5379]

I’m glad you find Steel Panther hilarious, me too 👍. I suspect the people that find them offensive don’t understand satire, and I think there’s a massive satirical element in what they do.

[@TheDilCam]

Yeah they had me dieing of laughter in 2022. Hilarious stuff!

[@naDalous]

Never seen your videos before, but I gotta say I love all the Bring Me tattoos that you have! I want to get some myself

[@TheDilCam]

@naDalous thanks alot! I have atlesst 6 or 7 at this point including my hand 😅

[@davidwood1562]

Only Download can have McFly and Cradle of Filth on the same lineup. Amazing!!

[@TheDilCam]

Love the diversity even if its not all for me

[@donnieanddad2012]

Go see Jerry Cantrell…go see Jerry Cantrell…you get what I’m saying kid?! lol.

[@TheDilCam]

@@donnieanddad2012 would I enjoy him?

[@lexdavies3656]

Far more rounded lineup than 2024, hopefully still holding out for a few more names in the next wave

[@TheDilCam]

Let's hope so🤘

[@SCUBADUB]

I have tried to like sleep token do much but I just don't get it. Each to their own ig. I'm kinda shocked they're headlining I was not expecting that.

[@TheDilCam]

Fair enough dude, they're certainly massive and doing something really different in the metal scene but yeah I really didn't expect it either.

[@PhilipSimpson-wt3pd]

Sleep token where a surprise I must admit, as headliners anyway, but maybe they will do a BMTH in 2023 and suprise a few people!

[@Monkeypole]

I went into 2023 wanting to give BMTH a chance but I hated them lol so unlikeable IMO. Hoping Sleep Token can shock me.

[@TheDilCam]

I think they absolutely will surprise us all

[@ColshyR1]

seen a video of a concert of sleep token - what a load of shite

[@TheDilCam]

@ColshyR1 they do have a bunch of slower songs but a good few heavy too

[@Alexroberts666]

Maybe it's not fair that I say this because I've genuinely not given Sleep Token more than a few tracks of a listen, but headlining a main stage at DL when their first album was not even a decade ago: that is *very* dramatic to say the least, and their live & studio material therefore must be fucking phenomenal (is what the presenters are trying to say) - for all I know, they are a brilliant band, buut...I'm not sure I'm willing to huff what the presenters are sniffing yet...? Green Day & Korn though: well deserved

[@TheDilCam]

Give them a go dude. Most streamed metal album of 2023, sold out arena tours. They've definitely earned it. New era of metal 🤘

[@Scottphoto26]

Nice diverse lineup but I can see why bloodstock sold out, Linkin park would have been so much better than sleep token but I’m sure they have their reasons! Also glad to see the broco lads up there! 🤘🤘🤘

[@TheDilCam]

The headliners were apparently already booked long before linkin park announced their massive return. I got a good feeling we'll get them in 2026!

[@darren.85]

Feels to me like they just water down their lineups the last couple of years. Although Korn do deserve it; for someone whose been since 2003, they’ve played maybe 8 times, always as a sub or 2nd stage headliner. They’ve not put a new album out to elevate them. I know they are great live, but it was nice to see Korn and then someone even bigger & better headlining after them. It’s great to see they are trying to make it fresh. But I think you need 2 ‘big’ headliners and one newer/ controversial choice. Same for last year with QOTSA & FOB. Ticket prices keep rising, but overall quality is going down imo

[@TheDilCam]

There's been good and bad points really, I hated that they had QOSTA and Royal blood earlier this year but the 2025 lineup is incredible to me.

[@mjc220683]

It’s a solid line up.

[@TheDilCam]

It is indeed

[@MichaelRowe-cv3oq]

Absolutely shite once again,year in year out....

[@TheDilCam]

@@MichaelRowe-cv3oq and what exactly would make it not shite for you?

[@MichaelRowe-cv3oq]

@TheDilCam For it to return to being Monsters of Rock when it had proper Rock/Metal bands playing.

[@TheDilCam]

@@MichaelRowe-cv3oq korn fills that section for me, although I can see the complaint when there's 0 classic rock bands on there suddenly

[@z1jayjay542]

Guesses for the 2nd half 👇

[@bloikeguitar]

Gotta be Deftones or Bad Omens as a subheadliner 🤘🤘

[@TheDilCam]

Bad omens, beartooth, knocked loose, papa roach.

[@bikergamecat]

Nicest headliner thats not right LP and MCR headlined before the 9 year mark in there career's

[@TheDilCam]

They both need to return in 2026.

[@TheGoldenPig.]

Overall pretty good....but sex pistols, the darkness and mcfly?! god no.

[@TheDilCam]

Hahaha sure

[@gidpinky6961]

Awful line up
