As a crowning conclusion, Sunday at the Nürburgring was a complete success, with an amazing atmosphere from early in the morning until late in the evening and beyond! Insights are here.
It was an incredibly great weekend, that much we can say for sure. The last festival day at the Ring was marked by blue skies and sunshine, culminating in a beautiful sunset during Kraftklub’s performance. Pure summer vibes!
Energy From Dawn To Dusk
It didn’t take long for the first core band to take the stage yesterday. Atreyu was the first act on the Mandora Stage, immediately followed by Of Mice & Men. Around the same time, the Japanese metalcore group Hanabie appeared on the Orbit Stage, eliciting cheers from the crowd. Things then got really heavy with Thy Art Is Murder, While She Sleeps, and also Landmvrks on the Orbit Stage, where they delivered another incredibly captivating show. Everywhere there were mosh pits, stage divers, and sing-along moments during “Lost In A Wave”.
Shortly after, it was decision time: Were you feeling the metalhead vibes and heading to Machine Head on the Mandora Stage, or were you up for a massive party with Kraftklub in front of the Utopia Stage? Regardless of the decision, both shows were simply powerful. With the setting sun at their backs and a pyro show from Machine Head, the heat was turned up, while Kraftklub’s evening hour provided really romantic vibes during “Kein Liebeslied”.
And even though it was the third festival evening, the energy from all of you in the audience was unbeatable! Mind you, this was all before acts like Corey Taylor, Måneskin, and Hatebreed even played. So, there were a few more rounds in which you found no rest. While headbanging was happening on one side, a dazzling party was in full swing with Måneskin, where even the audience was invited to dance on stage.
A real blast to close the show was naturally delivered by Parkway Drive, where every hardcore fan got their fill. From “Prey” to “Shadow Boxing” to “Wild Eyes”, one hit after another was unleashed, providing an adrenaline rush right up until the very end!
Farewell and Look Ahead! After the festival is, thankfully, always before the festival. Not only are countless great summer festivals waiting for you this year, but Rock am Ring has also already released the dates for next year! You can mark June 6-8, 2025, in your calendar. It’s never too early to look forward to something - but let’s take a moment to relive this incredible weekend.
We’re glad we could welcome you at our Impericon stand and that so many of you showed up for the signing sessions with bands like While She Sleeps, Thy Art Is Murder, and Landmvrks. It was a blast!
