"Olgas Rock concert set to commence in Oberhausen."
In the heart of the Rhineland and the Ruhr region, music enthusiasts have celebrated the Olgas Rock Festival for the past 25 years. However, festival organizers, a joint effort between the Cultural Office of the City of Oberhausen and the "rocko" association, have announced that this year's event, scheduled for August 8, 2025, will mark the final chapter in its current form.
The festival, known for its "free and outdoors" ethos, has attracted tens of thousands of visitors over the years, filling the Olga Park in Oberhausen with the sounds of rock and metal. This year's event will be no exception, with the program kicking off at 4 PM on Friday, August 8, featuring performances by Emma Bricks, Tilly Pantha, Akne Kid Joe, Butterwegge, Deine Cousine, and headliners Donots.
The festival's final date was set after last year's event was cancelled due to funding cuts. This year, the festival is made possible by the City of Oberhausen, donors, and sponsors, ensuring a memorable send-off for this beloved event.
For those interested, the aftershow party will take place on August 9 at Zentrum Altenberg. For the full program and more information, visit our website.
