Can you feel it already? The air is crackling with this unmistakable blend of summer warmth and something great about to happen. It’s the raw, electric anticipation for the Summer Breeze Open Air 2025, and to be honest, it’s already got me buzzing. So, get your calendars cleared for August 13th to 16th, 2025, because the fields near Dinkelsbühl are once again about to transform into a vibrant, head-banging slice of paradise.
A Lineup That’ll Make Your Jaw Drop
Okay, no kidding, prepare yourselves! The Summer Breeze is a flourishing community, deservedly built by many regular visitors. Ask any one of those and you will know, that the lineup never disappoints. And so the crew again pulled out all the stops this year. They’ve curated a lineup that’s nothing short of colossal. We’re talking over 130 bands, spanning pretty much every single corner of the metal universe. Imagine the sheer, raw energy of Machine Head and Gojira. Or the goosebumps you’ll get getting lost in the epic tales woven by Blind Guardian. And the sense of community as you sing along together with tens of thousands of Metalheads to Summer Breeze legacy In Extremo. Honestly, it’s going to be absolutely breathtaking. And those are only the headliners. On top of that, you get countless other de-facto headliners, such as Within Temptation, Saxon, Dimmu Borgir, Wardruna, Hämatom, Landmvrks, Tarja feat Marko Hietala, Donots, The Halo Effect, Kissin Dynamite, ASP, Wind Rose, Cult Of Luna, Kanonenfieber, Static-X and many, many more. All of them geared up to deliver those unforgettable performances that’ll stick with you long after the final note fades.

More Than Just Music – It’s Our Tribe, Our Vibe
But what really makes the Summer Breeze special aren’t the killer bands (though let’s be honest, they’re a huge part of why we will all be there!). It’s that incredible, almost palpable sense of belonging you get. Just picture it: your tent, your car right next to it, and your favorite people beside you. A place where genuine connections and priceless memories are formed and revisited, year after year. It’s basically a massive family reunion but with way more guitars and mosh pits.
