Rock am Ring Celebrates 40 Years with Record Attendance and Expanded Features

The legendary German rock festival announces surprises, enhanced stages, and a sold-out crowd for its milestone anniversary.

Rock am Ring 2025 will feature 100 acts across four stages, including surprise opening performances by two major bands not typically seen in this slot.
The festival has sold out three months in advance, with 90,000 tickets sold—its earliest sell-out in history.
Rock am Ring’s twin festival, Rock im Park, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year with 70,000 tickets already sold.
Significant upgrades include two equally large main stages with improved lighting and sound design for a more immersive experience.
Festival organizers highlight a shift in culture over the decades, with healthier lifestyles among performers and logistical challenges from rising production costs.
