Advance ticket sales for Rock am Ring 2026 are breaking all records: over 70,000 weekend tickets have already been sold – earlier than ever before. 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. With their globally acclaimed “Run For Your Lives” tour, the band promises an epic live experience – a long-awaited moment for the audience at the racetrack. Another highlight in the line-up: Volbeat will play their only German shows in 2026 at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park – a special moment for their huge fan base. Their current album went straight to number one in the German charts, and their arena tour announced for December 2025 sold out completely within a few hours – a clear sign of the band's momentum. Already confirmed as headliners since the last edition, Linkin Park are at the top of the upcoming line-up, marking a new chapter in the festival's history. Limp Bizkit will also be among the biggest names on stage at the twin festivals in 2026. As one of the most influential nu metal bands ever, they will bring their explosive live show and unmistakable mix of crossover sound and attitude to Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. Also joining the lineup is Papa Roach—a fixture in the alternative rock cosmos and known for their energetic performances. Adding to the excitement is Bad Omens, currently one of the most exciting new bands in modern metalcore, who will be performing at a top slot on the Mandora Stage. Electric Callboy, who have long enjoyed cult status with their mix of metalcore and humor, will present their biggest festival show to date exclusively at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park 2026. 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. Also confirmed: A Perfect Circle, Architects, Hollywood Undead, Ice Nine Kills, Landmvrks, Social Distortion, Three Days Grace, and Trivium. “The response to Rock am Ring 2026 has been simply overwhelming,” says Matt Schwarz, CEO of PRK DreamHaus and organizer of Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. “Over 70,000 festival tickets sold in September – that's unprecedented. We are infinitely grateful to the fans for their trust and are delighted to offer them a festival that will be remembered with this line-up.” ➡️ Tickets are available here.

Nürburgring has a full calendar of events in 2025

12.03.2025

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.

ROCK AM RING 2025 – SOLD OUT!

05.03.2025

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.

Nürburgring gives outlook on the 2025 annual calendar

04.09.2024

With the current season still in full swing at the Nürburgring, the race track and event location is already giving a preview of the coming year. From international highlights to event exotics and from motorsport to entertainment, the 2025 calendar once again promises the unique Nürburgring mix. A current overview: Exciting motorsport highlights in the Green HellNaturally, the world's longest permanent race track is also characterised by an attractive motorsport calendar in 2025. Particularly popular with fans: endurance motorsport on the Nordschleife. The highlight is the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, which will once again put man and machine to the ultimate test from 19 to 22 June 2025 and promise a gigantic motorsport party together with tens of thousands of fans. As usual, the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) will kick off the motorsport year. After the first race on 22 March, eight more race days will follow until October, each of which usually falls on a Saturday. Only on 13 and 14 September are two race days scheduled on one weekend for the NLS and therefore also the only race Sunday in the series. The dates of the Nürburgring Rundstrecken Challenge (RCN) are another Nordschleife format on the calendar. Regularity and performance tests offer popular sport from road-legal to race-ready vehicles. From GT3 to XXL: thrilling motorsport from racing cars to race trucksFans of thrilling motorsport will once again get their money's worth on the Grand Prix circuit. The giants of motorsport will compete against each other on the sprint version of the International ADAC Truck Grand Prix from 10 - 13 July. Every year, the event delights visitors with a family-friendly concept of motorsport, festival, colourful paddock and trade fair. Included in the supporting programme: the ADAC GT Masters. The Fanatec GT World Challenge (29 - 31 August) and the Porsche Sports Cup (30 May - 1 June) will feature high-quality racing cars from the world's best-known automotive brands. The Nürburgring Drift Cup, which will host its first round on 26 and 27 April, and GRIP - the motor event that will attract the tuning community to the Eifel on 6 July, are also high on horsepower and, above all, action-packed drifting. The date for the DTM at the Nürburgring has already been finalised. However, fans will have to wait a little longer before the announcement. The racing series will present its annual calendar in the coming days. Experiences with music and muscle powerAway from the roaring sounds of engines, powerful guitar riffs await at the beginning of June. Rock am Ring will get visitors' hearts racing from 6 to 8 June. According to the recently published first wave of bands, ‘Slipknot’ and ‘Bring me the Horizon’ have already been confirmed as headliners for the festival's 40th anniversary alongside other well-known bands. A similar-sounding event name, but with a completely different intention, can be found in the 2025 calendar with Rad am Ring. In mid-July, thousands of tireless participants will once again take to the start line to conquer the Green Hell with their own muscle power. Incidentally, this is also required for the Hotfoot Run - but not on two wheels, but on foot. The obstacle course takes place on 10 May. Fast-paced PS classics in racing actionThe heroes and automotive jewels of days gone by have also once again secured several permanent places on the Ring calendar. Old and youngtimers and memories of many decades of motorsport will be brought to life on the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife. The Nürburgring Classic will kick off 2025 from 13 to 15 June. This will be followed in August by the BELMOT Oldtimer Grand Prix (1st - 3rd) and the legendary ADAC 1000km race from 20th to 21st September. The ADAC RGB season finale, the ADAC Westfalen Trophy and, last but not least, the Kölner Kurs as a historic motorbike event round off the historic programme. Motorbike service and racing on two wheelsSpeaking of motorbikes: after returning to the Nürburgring this year, the International Motorcycle Championship (IDM) is also on the calendar for the coming season. From 5 to 7 September, the series will kick off with thrilling two-wheel racing. There will be impressive pictures of thousands of motorbikes off the racing line at the ‘Anlassen’ motorbike service on 27 April. One of the highlights of the programme: the joint parade around the legendary Nordschleife. Diverse indoor events: entertainment away from the racetrackThe Nürburgring also continues to see a steady increase in events away from the tarmac. And so the 2025 season in the Green Hell starts and ends with indoor events throughout the year. The International Rhine Shiai Karate Tournament will kick off the season on the second weekend in January, while the German Carnival Garda Dance Championship will be the event finale in December. Both events will take place in the ring°arena, as will two cheerleading competitions on 15 and 16 February and the ‘Darts am Ring’ gala in March. The latter is set to become the undisputed fan magnet in the indoor calendar with over 3,000 fans expected. The exact date for the flying darts event will be announced shortly. Further music and entertainment formats at the Nürburgring venues are also scheduled for next year. Comedy at NightWash live, the Nürburgring Family Day and a colourful afternoon at the Disney Channel cinema have been decided for 2025 and will soon be added to the calendar.
