From potential guests appearing on stage with confirmed acts, to who might fill in several gaps, the gossip mill is rife. Here's five potential surprises we think could happen at Download Festival 2025 at present. Have you spotted the two huge gaps in the Download Festival 2025 timetable? That's two of the talking points as we are almost one week away from one of the noisiest UK festivals kickstarting the UK festival season at Donington Park. The mystery of who might perform on The Avalanche Stage, or if there will be a headline act on the Dogtooth Stage after Cradle of Filth have finished their set, is hot on everyone's minds. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We've taken a look over Reddit, social media and even down rabbit holes we didn't think existed to take a look at some of the strong rumours of what 'might' happen at this year's festival - one that has previously surprised many with secret sets or last-minute replacements. Get ready to speculate: here are five possible surprises set to shake up Download Festival 2025. Five possible surprises to take place at Download Festival 2025 There's two huge gaps in the Download Festival 2025 timetable, while could a Weezer super-fan join them during their main stage set this year? | Getty Images/Download Festival App 1. Chino Moreno makes a guest appearance Is it wishful thinking from a long-time Deftones fan? Yes, but we're not asking for a full-blown Deftones set (though, see below regarding that). However, with Deftones and Weezer touring together, and knowing Moreno has previously covered songs from Rivers Cuomo's group, is there a possibility of the frontman bounding onto the Apex Stage on Friday to help cover the classic Say It Ain't So? Failing that, there's another artist performing this year, the enigmatic PRESIDENT, who has referenced Moreno online as an influence. Their first single bears all the hallmarks of Diamond Eyes era Deftones, so could there be a signal boost if Moreno helps Char… sorry… PRESIDENT when they perform? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 2. Sunday - The Avalanche Stage, 2:50pm 'gap' On a stage that is otherwise tightly packed with 30-minute sets, a 1-hour, 30-minute gap (from the end of Spiritual Camp at 2:20pm until House of Protection at 3:50pm, with a 2:50pm slot for the secret act) is highly unusual and a classic indicator of a planned but unannounced performance. Download Festival itself, and related outlets like Kerrang! and Rock Sound, have teased "multiple secret sets" for 2025. This particular gap on Sunday is often highlighted in fan theories. The most popular prediction is that Architects could be the secret act performing in this slot, as their schedule sometimes has gaps that could allow for a Download appearance. Some speculation even links their absence from the main line-up due to exclusivity clauses with other festivals, which secret sets can sometimes "work around." Guess we'll find out on the day — unless someone outs themselves for that time slot. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 3. Jerry Cantrell joins another band in tribute to Alice In Chains While Jerry Cantrell is already set to deliver a must-see solo performance on Sunday, Donington is the spiritual home of rock, and special things happen here. Given Cantrell's legendary status as the mastermind behind Alice in Chains, could we see him join another band on the bill for a powerful tribute to his iconic band? As a major metalcore band, Bullet For My Valentine has strong roots in the alternative metal scene that Alice in Chains influenced. They are direct descendants of 90s heavy rock — so could they fit the bill if Cantrell were to guest with a band this year? A straight-ahead, powerful cover of an Alice in Chains track would fit perfectly into their set and be a massive crowd-pleaser, especially with Jerry Cantrell. They are playing on the same stage as Korn and Cantrell on Sunday. 4. Dogtooth's 'Late Night Closer' pattern On both Friday (Apocalyptica at 9:50pm) and Sunday (Sikth at 10:05pm), the Dogtooth Stage features a notable band starting after the main Apex Stage headliner has begun. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This isn't a secret set, but it's a deliberate programming choice to keep the energy going for fans of specific sub-genres after the main arena might be winding down. These can feel like a special 'bonus headline' for those stages and a unique way to end the night. Cradle of Filth is scheduled to headline the Dogtooth Stage at 20:30 on Saturday, but that leaves a space open for a potential secret set to occur. Could this be where someone like King Diamond or A Day To Remember plays a secret or last-minute announced set during the weekend? Some even think it could be Linkin Park… 5. Korn ropes in a previous collaborator to close out Download 2025 As Korn is set to roll the years back and close out this year's Download Festival, and with interest in late '90s and '00s nu metal coming back into vogue, could Jonathan Davis use their end-of-festival set to include a couple of surprise guests? If they wanted to really tap into the zeitgeist of the era, Limp Bizkit isn't doing anything since they completed their Loserville tour dates. With the band performing at Leeds and Reading Festival later this year, could Fred pop over for a quick duet alongside Jonathan with a rousing cover of All In The Family?

Deftones' Chino Moreno Unleashes Remix of The Cure's 'Warsong': Stream
The post Deftones' Chino Moreno Unleashes Remix of The Cure's 'Warsong': Stream appeared first on Consequence. Deftones singer Chino Moreno's remix of the The Cure's 'Warsong' has been unveiled in advance of the upcoming album Remixes of a Lost World, set for release on June 13th. As previously reported, Remixes of a Lost World features new mixes of the tracks on The Cure's most recent studio album, 2024's Songs of a Lost World, by the likes of Moreno, Mogwai, Four Tet, Orbital, Paul Oakenfold, and others. Upon last month's album announcement, Four Tet's remix of 'Alone' and Oakenfold's 'cinematic' remix of 'I Can Never Say Goodbye' were made available to stream. Get Deftones Tickets Here Now, Moreno's mix of 'Warsong' has been released, with the Deftones frontman stating, 'I chose 'Warsong' to remix as it's one of those slow-building, brooding musical pieces that have always drawn me into The Cure's music.' He added, 'My idea with this remix was to strip it back slightly of its organic instrumentation and bring in ridged, mechanical percussion and some down-pitched vocals aimed to bring forth the cold/dystopic feel of the song while maintaining the core beauty of what existed.' Remixes by Moreno ('Warchild'), Mogwai ('Endsong'), and 65daysofstatic ('All I Ever Am') only appear on the 3LP or 3CD deluxe editions of Mixes of a Lost World. Remixes by Four Tet ('Alone'), Paul Oakenfold ('I Can Never Say Goodbye'), Orbital ('Endsong'), and others appear on the standard 2LP or 2CD editions, as well as the deluxe versions. Pre-orders are available here. Deftones recently completed a winter/spring North American tour with The Mars Volta, and will embark on a late summer leg with Phantogram and IDLES on select dates beginning August 22nd in Vancouver (pick up tickets here). Amidst that run, Deftones will play two stadium shows with System of a Down in Toronto on September 3rd and 5th. Listen to Chino Moreno's remix of The Cure's 'Warsong' below.

Deftones' Chino Moreno shares ‘cold, dystopic' remix of The Cure's ‘Warsong'
Deftones leader Chino Moreno has shared his own version of The Cure's 'Warsong', offering his own 'cold, dystopic' take on the track. The cover arrives as part of the remix record of The Cure's Songs of a Lost World, which arrived last year to huge acclaim. It's called Mixes of a Lost World and also features Four Tet's remix of the band's 'Alone', as well as offerings from the likes of Mogwai, Mura Masa and Paul Oakenfold. Now, Chino Moreno's new offering is the latest to arrive. While not too dissimilar from the original, it offers a more uncompromising take on the song. 'I chose 'Warsong' to remix as it's one of those slow-building, brooding musical pieces that have always drawn me into The Cure's music,' Moreno said. 'My idea with this remix was to strip it back slightly of its organic instrumentation and bring in ridged, mechanical percussion and some down-pitched vocals aimed to bring forth the cold/dystopic feel of the song while maintaining the core beauty of what existed.' Chino Moreno and Robert Smith previously joined forces when Smith shared his remix of 'Teenager' in 2020 for Deftones' White Pony remix album. In a statement, Smith previously said that the remix project began just after Christmas when he received 'a couple of unsolicited remixes' and 'really loved them.' He continued: 'The Cure has a colourful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others. This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all eight songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for.' Mixes of a Lost World will be released as a three-CD or vinyl LP deluxe edition, while a standard two-CD or vinyl LP edition will also be available. (A full track list for the deluxe edition is below.) The album is available to pre-order now, and the Cure will donate all of their recording royalties from the project to War Child UK — a cause that, Smith said, made Mixes 'an even more special release.'
