i forgot it was the 1st today and didnt put in the money i need into my current account for the ticket instalment - it declined - will they try again?! I’m freaking outttt

I was going to go to Download festival this year, but admittedly I can’t turn down the insane value of this year’s lineup at Rock for People festival. Unfortunately they are both on the same weekend, so I can’t do both.

Has anyone done both Rock for People and Download in the past? How do they compare? Thank you!

Ticketmaster saying bleed from within are playing next year when I went to get tickets for their tour.

Sleep token are the middle band on the line up so assuming Saturday? Does anyone know for sure or can remember a year where the order on the announcement poster didn't replicate the days they played?

Does anyone know when day tickets will get released? Will it be when they announce the day splits? I’ve not been to Download since 2009, and I am desperate to get back but my old damn body is not gonna let me camp like I used to 😂

Are you allowed to bring cameras into the arena, like a Sony camcorder type of thing. Its my second download and more of my mates will be going, I thought it would be cool to document everything on something physical but I'm not sure if you can bring a camera into the arena. I don't remember if you could last year, and I'm it sure where to check so I thought I might as well ask. Thanks for any responses :)

Hi everyone, I’m seriously considering volunteering at Download 2025 and would love to hear about your experiences if you’ve done it before! I’ll be going solo, as I don’t have a group of friends to go with, and volunteering feels like a great way to meet people and fully enjoy the festival.

For context, I’m autistic, have ADHD, and manage chronic endometriosis, which comes with some mobility issues and hidden disabilities. I’m a bit anxious about how I’ll manage these during the festival, so any tips or advice would be massively appreciated—especially around accessibility, shift flexibility, and managing downtime.

If you’ve volunteered at Download (or other festivals), I’d love to hear how it went and any recommendations you have. Thanks in advance!

If you could ask the organisers one question, what would it be?

Does anyone have a link to a documentary about the 2003 download festival/any footage of the fans from the Metallica secret set?

What's the odds inflames will be announced next?... They seemt to be doing a lot of festivals next year, would absolutely make DL a 10/10 for me if they get added

Ok so I appreciate this is very early but I'm trying to organise a big group to make DL in 2026. Do early bird tickets go on sale straight after DL 2025 finishes, so Monday 16 June? If so, does that include all RIP packages? Cheers all

What are the chances of deftones being added to the lineup with the next announcement? i’m contemplating letting go of my tickets to their london show because i don’t like london, but i would hate to miss out.

Just got back from the Brum show from their tour together with Heriot and Darkest Hour supporting and WOW they were AWESOME. Definitely going to be seeing them at Download and I highly recommend that if you're into that kinda thing.

Any opinions about the bands? Are you going to see them?

Hey Downloaders.

Can any Sleep Token fans give me a "Top 10" other than what Spotify gives me?

I've never listened to them pre announcement but am really keen to get to know them.

I’ve got the day off, so I thought I’d check out some new albums or ones I haven’t heard before. I put on the new Opeth record, and it's super weird but wow, it’s amazing!

First time at download next year what time is the dog house open till ? Also can you take your own drinks with you after the arena shuts.

Episode 9: Who are Sleep Token? Is now live, we talk to Superfan Josh Jones to find out why Sleep Token will be the hottest headliner of 2025.
