Let's get the show on the road, shall we? The 40-year-old badass known as Rock am Ring recently threw a celebration to end all celebrated events, and we've got all the hot deets for ya!
Rock am Ring: The Real OG
The 40th anniversary of this badass event occurred at none other than the Nürburgring in Germany. Spanning over an epic three-day span—June 7-9, 2025, to be exact—the festival was so damn mind-blowing that it'll go down in the annals of rock n' roll history!
Headbangers' Ball
Get ready to crank up the tunes, because the lineup was nothing short of legendary! The event featured a killer combination of bands, such as Korn, Falling In Reverse, Sleep Token, and Bring Me The Horizon. And did I mention the Electric Callboy DJ Set that kept the party rocking till the wee hours?
Let It Pour
I gotta say, it rained cats and dogs during the festival, but fear not, the energy levels remained off the freakin' charts! Rainy conditions didn't dampen anyone's spirits—instead, a massive mosh pit took shape each day. Now that's what I call dedication!
Rockin' Out and Letting Loose
It's no understatement to call the first day historically explosive, with acts like Bring Me The Horizon and K.I.Z. tearing up the stage. And the Electric Callboy DJ Set? A pumped-up, eardrum-bursting party that carried on into the small hours! Folks, we're talking an absolute fucking birthday bash for Rock am Ring!
Merch Heaven
Last but not least, fans had the opportunity to snag some festival merchandise, both online and on-site. But here's a fun fact: following the event, an exclusive discount was made available for all the diehard fans!
And that's a wrap, kiddos! Rock am Ring's 40th anniversary was a roaring success, and the festival proved that nothing can ever tarnish its reign as the king of rock music events. Here's to another forty years of pure, unadulterated rock n' roll!

Other than Rock am Ring's festive success, there was also a heated political exchange taking place at the same time. Chancellor Merz was locked in a confrontation with President Trump, making headlines in the general-news sector.
With music and politics stirring the nation, the contrast between their respective events drew wide-ranging discussions and debates among the public.
