Overview

  • Justin Timberlake performed a full headlining show in heavy rain without pause, wearing a rain jacket and delivering over 20 songs.
  • Organizers moved all electronic acts, including DJ Bunt’s pre-recorded set, into the covered Olympiastadion to shield against the downpour.
  • Festival planners projected just over 50,000 attendees for the weekend, about 10,000 fewer than two years ago.
  • Early afternoon stages remained largely empty until about 4 p.m., when improving conditions filled the stadium to roughly one-third capacity.
  • Today’s lineup features J-Hope, Benson Boone and Raye, underscoring the festival’s blend of established superstars and TikTok-driven newcomers.
