A rise in power recognized by the Download Festival
The decision to headline the Download Festival was described as a no-brainer by Andy Copping: “Their meteoric rise over the last two years made me think, ‘This is a group that deserves to be highlighted.’ They have a full arena tour in a few weeks, and we already know it’s going to be spectacular.”
Copping also stressed the importance of promoting new bands to headliner status: “In the past I’ve done this with Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Biffy Clyro, and in 2023, Bring Me The Horizon. Today, all these groups are seen as essential headliners. That’s exactly what we’re doing with Sleep Token this year. This is their time.”
