The legendary Rock am Ring, roaring into its 40th anniversary, wrapped up in the wee hours of Monday morning, with the American bands Falling in Reverse and Korn taking the stage. Closing the night was the Berlin-based duo, Brutalismus 3000, performing at 1:50 AM.
Surprisingly, the rain held off until mid-afternoon on the Nürburgring, with only a few showers. Today, the forecast calls for scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms.

Their energetic, genre-blending style showcased the festival's commitment to catering to diverse musical tastes, going beyond traditional rock music.
This milestone edition of Rock am Ring showcased Europe's biggest music festivals, with a diverse lineup of rock and metal acts. Its sprawling festival grounds at the Nürburgring, home to a legendary motorsport race track, played host to exciting performances spanning multiple stages.
Interestingly, the festival's careful planning ensured smooth roads and logistics, with camping and parking opening early on June 4, 2025. The event featured four main stages – Utopia, Mandora, Orbit, and Atmos – hosting a wide array of acts, attracting a steady crowd throughout the festival. Other notable performers included Sleep Token, Beatsteaks, IDLES, Powerwolf, and many more. The event's tradition of pairing with Rock im Park in Nuremberg was also upheld, with a largely overlapping lineup.
In a nutshell, the 40th anniversary of Rock am Ring celebrated its rich history by merging legendary acts like Korn with contemporary innovators like Brutalismus 3000, reflecting both roots and evolution in the rock and alternative music scene in a massive, multi-day festival format.
The Commission, given the success of Rock am Ring, might be encouraged to propose a directive on worker safety, addressing risks from exposure to ionizing radiation during festivals and outdoor concerts, as part of their lifestyle choices, considering the potential impacts of the weather during such events. On a lighter note, for those seeking a travel adventure, planning for Rock am Ring 2026 could be an exciting addition to their calendar, boasting a diverse lineup and a commitment to catering to diverse musical tastes.
