This is a strong signal of the huge anticipation and enthusiasm among Ring fans. Buoyed by this euphoria, Rock am Ring is today announcing further top-class acts. Iron Maiden will be performing at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in 2026 – these are the only German festivals that the metal icons will be playing next year. More than a decade after their last appearance at the Nürburgring, they are returning to one of Europe's most important festival stages.

Sabaton will also bring their spectacular live performances, while The Offspring will provide both nostalgia and a state of emergency with a whole arsenal of punk rock classics. International stars, scene favorites, and crowd pullers add extra depth and power to the first wave of bands – including Babymetal, who are redefining metal with J-pop influences, Within Temptation with their epic soundscapes between symphonic and alternative, and Marteria, one of the most influential German live acts of recent years.

Ready for a full-throttle 2025: the engines will finally start up at the Nürburgring in March. And once again, the event calendar is full to bursting: 60 events make the Eifel race track a worthwhile destination for many good reasons well into the fall. Racing spectacle, festival summer, comedy evening or family outing: the Nürburgring will make hearts beat faster again this year. They belong to the Ring as much as the champagne shower on the podium: crowd-pullers such as the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the DTM, Rock am Ring, the Truck Grand Prix and the Oldtimer Grand Prix will once again attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Eifel this year. A fast-paced mix that includes around 60 public events between March and November alone. Major events alternate with hands-on motor sports and small after-work pleasures, such as the Nürburgring cycling and running club or the Afterwork Classics. One of the highlights will be the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. On the Corpus Christi weekend (June 19-22), well over 100 race cars will take on the ultimate challenge: 24 hours non-stop on the most demanding track in the world. A spectacle – also because of its passionate fans. Tens of thousands will be camping along the track, creating the unique atmosphere of the Ring. One new feature this year is a particularly family-friendly camping option in the new Family & Friends area. If you enjoy the thrilling and close racing on the Nordschleife, there are many other opportunities to experience racing action in the Green Hell throughout the year at the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series and the RCN circuit racing challenge. The International ADAC Truck Grand Prix is also a real experience. For decades, Germany's truckers have been celebrating Christmas with country music, camping and fast-paced racing. This year, the truckers will be on the loose from July 11 to 13. The traditional music festival has recently undergone a rejuvenation. The revamped Saturday evening program now features well-known party artists, and affordable single-day tickets are available for this event. Europe's most famous racing series, the DTM (August 8-10), will once again be a guest on the Nürburgring's sprint track – and will shine with a wide variety of brands, familiar faces and thrilling racing. Or how about a journey back in time to the last century of motorsport? With the Nürburgring Classic (June 13-15), the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (August 1-3) and the ADAC 1000 km race (September 20-21), three events are dedicated to historic racing cars. Indoor events from comedy to sportsThere will be plenty of laughter and celebration off the track this year: Comedian Carolin Kebekus will be making a guest appearance in the ring°arena in the fall (September 20) with her celebrated Shesus tour. NightWash Live will also be bringing stand-up comedy to the Nürburgring again this year, on November 15. And at Darts am Ring, some of the world's best dart throwers will transform the ring°arena into a madhouse together with many celebrating darts fans on March 29 – just like at the big role model, the Ally Pally. The Nürburgring Family Day on October 26 and the Job Fair on November 7 and 8 round off the indoor highlights. And because the Nürburgring is not just about watching, other hands-on events are looking forward to motivated participants. Whether on two wheels at Rad am Ring (July 18-20), on foot at the Hotfoot Run (May 10), or with the powerful Gargenschatz at GRIP - das Motorevent (July 6). Speaking of garage treasures: Numerous tourist driving days are planned again for all petrol heads, during which anyone can drive on the ring. The Nordschleife and Grand Prix circuit will open their barriers on well over 100 days.

Record advance ticket sales for anniversary: Germany's most important festival is looking forward to 90,000 fans. From June 6-8, 2025, Rock am Ring will celebrate its 40th anniversary with 100 acts. Just in time for its fortieth anniversary, the legendary German festival is reporting sold out. Never before have 90,000 tickets for the mega-event at the Nürburgring been sold out so early. Rock am Ring has been breaking records for months, and now the most important German festival is sold out. In a highly dynamic European festival landscape, the industry leader is holding its own by focusing on an exclusive program and on the festival experience of the fans – the classic Rock am Ring values.The success story comes just in time for the 40th anniversary of the iconic festival. On the 1985 Whitsun weekend, tens of thousands of music fans made the pilgrimage to the Nürburgring for the first time, in a different century, a completely different festival landscape. The anniversary edition now represents both the history of Rock am Ring and a departure into the future. In times of constant change, the genuine festival promise of a temporary utopia on the Ring remains and each year anew creates the framework for a well-organized chaos. The newly designed Rock am Ring site, with its futuristic elements, towering LED columns and the biggest stages in the festival's history, is symbolic of this controlled escapism. “We are building a small parallel universe with numerous loving details that fans can dive into with gusto,” says Jana Posth, Festival Director Rock am Ring. At Rock am Ring, ensuring the best festival experience for fans still means first and foremost: presenting the best possible program. Rock am Ring will remain a multi-genre festival with a focus on guitar in its anniversary year, but in 2025 it will be more diverse than ever: insider tips, crowd favorites, and major acts will be performing back-to-back, and the program will reflect the full diversity of the current music scene. That is the magic of Rock am Ring: everything that festival culture stands for will be brought to life again at the Nürburgring in 2025, with concerts lasting well into the night and a clear focus on a passion for music and community.
