London punk band Bob Vylan has been announced as Burn It Down Festival’s Thursday headliner. 

Burn It Down takes over three grassroots venues in Torquay - The Foundry, Attic, and Apple & Parrot - from Thursday 28th to Saturday 30th August 2025. Bob Vylan tops the bill on Thursday 28th, with more names to be announced. 

Known for politically-charged tunes that often fuse punk with other genres like hip-hop/grime and electronic elements, their bangers like ‘We Live Here’, ‘He's A Man’, 'Dream Big', and ‘Wicked & Bad’ it's sure to be an energetic set. 

The festival is known for drawing artists from the emo, punk, metal, and rock scenes. This year, there will be performances from Static Dress (performing Rouge Carpet Disaster in full), Cancer Bats (UK exclusive), Guilt Trip, and more. See the lineup here.

The festival also offers boat parties on Friday and Saturday.

Earlier this year, Burn It Down won Best Micro Festival and Best Metropolitan Festival at the UK Festival Awards.
