Celebrating Two Decades of Metal and Anti-Racism: Rage Against Racism Fest 2025
Mark your calendars! The Rage Against Racism metal festival is turning 20, and it's inviting you to join the celebration under the sun, music, and the historic Friemersheimer Mill in Duisburg. From June 20th to 21st, 14 national and international bands will rock the stage, blending entertainment with activism.
Themusical extravaganza isn’t just about headbanging; it’s here to spread a powerful message against discrimination and xenophobia. The lineup includes heavy hitters like "The Unguided" from Sweden and "Dymytry" from the Czech Republic. The event's chair, Jan Wirtgen, from "Inne Mühle e.V.", emphasizes: "Our festival doesn't just entertain, but also acts as a bridge for social engagement, promoting awareness and encouraging young folks to speak out against extremism and prejudice."
For two decades, this unique festival has been a labor of love, with countless volunteers keeping the flame of diversity, solidarity, and peaceful protest burning bright. Rage Against Racism has always been more than a music event: It's a movement born out of a desire to challenge exclusion, hate, and intolerance.
The pay-what-you-want model, introduced in 2024, reflects the festival's commitment to accessibility. Even with mounting costs and tight budgets, the entrance remains free. As Wirtgen puts it, "We want everyone to feel welcome and contribute in their own way to this movement." The City of Duisburg, "Die Mühle" youth center, "Inne Mühle e.V.", and Sparkasse Duisburg all join forces to make this event happen.
