40 years of Rock am Ring and 30 years of Rock im Park: the third wave of bands

40 years of Rock am Ring and 30 years of Rock im Park: the third wave of bands brings koRn as headliner and top-class acts such as Weezer, Bullet For My Valentine, Kontra K and more.

Outstanding advance sales with 80,000 tickets sold for Rock am Ring and 60,000 for Rock im Park.

The traditional festivals Rock am Ring and Rock im Park are celebrating their 40th and 30th anniversaries respectively at the Nürburgring in the Eifel and in Nuremberg in 2025, and demand is higher than ever before: over 80,000 weekend tickets have already been sold for Rock am Ring - Rock im Park has over 60,000 weekend tickets. A triumph for rock culture in Germany and another milestone for Rock am Ring and Rock im Park 2025.

The line-up of the twin festivals comprises 70 acts so far, with Slipknot and Bring Me the Horizon as headliners and other first-class bands such as The Prodigy, Rise Against, Sleep Token, Falling in Reverse, K.I.Z., Spiritbox, Biffy Clyro and Beatsteaks. Today, 20 new acts have been added:
KoRn, one of the defining bands of the nu-metal genre, joins the headliner line-up. The US band will be bringing their well-known distinctive riffs to the stage, with which they have influenced the genre since the 90s and are still celebrating huge success today. Singer Jonathan Davis is looking forward to the show with great anticipation: “We are thrilled to be headlining Rock am Ring and Rock im Park next year, celebrating our 10th appearance at these iconic festivals. Germany has always been an important part of our journey and we can't wait to make next summer unforgettable.” Another highlight of the new wave of bands is Weezer: with charming irony and boundless creativity, the Californian cult rockers blur the boundaries between alternative and indie, inspiring fans across generations.

Friends of heavier sounds won't miss out either. Bullet For My Valentine shake the asphalt of the racetrack and the area around the Dutzendteich with impulsive metalcore, skillfully capturing the dynamic between hardness and melody. Kontra K brings powerful rap to the stage and promises an intense performance with his combative charisma and lyrical depth.

Fans can also look forward to the following confirmations: Frog Leap, Jerry Cantrell, Destroy Boys, Northlane, I See Stars, The Red Flags, Drug Church and more.

The hot phase for the big anniversaries has begun. Matt Schwarz, organizer of Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, emphasizes: “We are incredibly grateful for the loyalty of our fans who support the festivals with their solidarity. With lots of surprises, 100 acts, four stages and fantastic special surprise acts, we will be celebrating legendary festivals at Whitsun next year.” Anyone who wants to experience the unforgettable festival at the Nürburgring or the twin festival Rock im Park in Nuremberg live should hurry - because the festivals already promise to be a major highlight of the 2025 season.
