2024 hadn't even reached the point where the first bands are on stage, yet the first bands for 2025 already made it on the new lineup poster. What a great announcement for the 20th anniversary of the Reload Festival! So, mark the date now: August 14th - 16th, 2025.
And who do we have so far? At the top of the list are Machine Head, who will be playing at Reload for the first time. Right next to them: Gojira and I Prevail. So, we already have some Thrash Metal and Metalcore bands to cheer for. A total of 22 acts are already on the lineup, including big names like Ministry, August Burns Red, Fit For A King, and Counterparts!
Here you can see all the bands in their full glory:
But that's not all - another highlight for next year has been announced alongside this. In 2025, the Mainstage will open on Thursday, meaning even more live music over the course of three days!
"We are incredibly excited to celebrate our 20th anniversary with an exceptional lineup and an expanded festival experience: For the first time, the Mainstage will open on Thursday, and the first confirmed bands for 2025 are truly top-notch. We can't wait to welcome these amazing acts and to share an unforgettable festival experience with you all," says André Jürgens, Managing Director of the Reload Festival, with excitement.
