Download Festival 2025: Complete list of set times on one page

Get ready for Download 2025! The festival is happening from June 11th to June 15th at Donington Park, and the full schedule is now out. We’ve got all the set times for every stage and event across the whole weekend right here.

Below, you’ll find the complete list of who’s playing where and when, sorted from the start of the day to the end for each stage. It’s everything you need to figure out your plan and make sure you don’t miss your favourite bands and acts.

Think of this as your handy guide to Download. You can scroll through it all on this page, or a good tip is to grab screenshots of the stages you want to see each day. That way, you’ll have the times right there on your phone when you’re in the thick of it!

Of course, with hundreds of artists playing over the weekend and the nature of outdoor events, it’s likely some of these times will change. To stay up to date, make sure you’ve got the official Download 2025 app installed on your phone before you go.
