Meet all six Takeover at Download bands playing in 2025
2025/06/21
In this episode of Festpod, hosts Neill Wilkinson and Rich Holmes interview the six bands chosen to perform at the 2025 Takeover at Download. All Ears Avow, Collapse The Sky, Change Persona, Dacara, Two Year Break, and Exist Immortal all talk about their upcoming appearance on the Doghouse stage in June. Every year, six unsigned bands get picked to play on the first day of Download Festival at Donington Park. The Doghouse stage in District X, what used to be called The Village, can host thousands of eager fans waiting to see the first live music of the event. The process to pick those few bands is a hard slog of watching videos, listening to submissions and arguments between the panel about who deserves it more. Eventually, the panel reaches agreement, and the chosen bands get informed. After Festpod's exclusive announcement of the bands picked to play, we now make contact with them and get their reaction to being selected. This is our chance to get to know those six bands before they head out on stage to a packed Doghouse tent. The Takeover at Download is a huge opportunity for unsigned bands to play for thousands of Rock and Metal fans and can lead to future connections, gigs and development, if they impress the right people. The stage is set, the excitement is peaking, and Download is about to begin. with our sponsor: Fat Frank's Camping Shop https://fatfrankscampingshop.com Find all our video podcast episodes in this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlfyhNTZm6HBHjHm4kSORo_HykWXf0KGu&si=_5FbNi1-Rfe0sU1t Please support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/festpod If you'd like to buy our merch, visit our merch store here: https://etsy.com/uk/shop/Festpod All our links here: https://festpod.co.uk Timestamps ⏱: 0:00 - Pre Titles 0:19 - Fat Frank's Camping Shop - 1st sponsor spot 01:00 - Title sequence 01:32 - Welcome -- Band Interviews pt. 1 -- 04:16 - All Ears Avow 29:17 - Collapse The Sky -- Ad Break -- 53:08 - Bloodmores break bumper 53:19 - Fat Frank's Camping Shop - 2nd sponsor spot -- Band Interviews pt. 2 -- 54:20- Change Persona 01:12:49 - Dacara -- Ad Break 2 -- 01:28:03 - Rupcha Farms break bumper -- Band Interviews pt. 3 -- 01:28:49 - Two Year Break 01:48:37 - Exist Immortal 02:11:30 - Outro Hosted on Acast.
