The countdown has started! Only 226 days to go until Rock am Ring opens its doors at the Nürburgring from June 6–8, 2025 and celebrates its 40th anniversary. Founded in 1985, Rock am Ring is now one of the most important music festivals in Europe, together with its sister festival Rock im Park, and continues to set new standards – especially with its anniversary edition next year. The names of the second wave of bands show once again that fans can look forward to a truly special edition.

It's no wonder that advance ticket sales for Rock am Ring are also more successful than ever: over 70,000 weekend tickets have already been sold. Tickets are in short supply or already sold out for some camping categories.

In addition to the 14 acts already announced, including Bring Me the Horizon, who will be appearing exclusively in the EU at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, and Slipknot, around 70 of 100 acts have now been confirmed.

Among the headliners are The Prodigy – the British icons and pioneers of big beat and electro-rock, known for their intense, energetic performances and dark, pulsating beats, will deliver a unique show. American punk rock heroes and pioneers of political punk Rise Against will thrill fans at the Nürburgring with their usual passionate live performances. Falling In Reverse, one of the most exciting rock acts of the moment, have also been confirmed. Their modern post-hardcore sound is always creative, and their show is guaranteed to polarize. With epic metal sounds, Spiritbox, In Flames and Heaven Shall Burn will really heat up the audience. In addition, SDP, known for their cross-genre mix of pop, rap and rock, will create a lively party atmosphere with rousing anthems.

In addition, fans can look forward to Skillet, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Poppy, Airbourne, Electric Callboy DJ Set, Brutalismus 3000, Tocotronic, Millencolin, Stray From The Path, Olli Schulz & Band, Drangsal, Die Nerven and many more.

Incidentally, the anniversary edition of Rock am Ring 2025 will feature two special guests at the grand opening on the Utopia Stage on the Friday of the festival – two highly sought-after top acts who dominate the stages of the biggest festivals and are adored by their fans. We won't reveal who they are until the show begins.
Further bands and highlights will be announced in the coming months. A total of around 100 top-class acts and four stages await fans on the grounds of the historic race track.

The next price level change is planned for November 1, 2024. Until then, fans have time to buy their weekend tickets at the current price of 219 euros.
