Experience the raw power and unwavering spirit of metal at Summer Breeze 2025, where a sold-out crowd of 45,000 fans braved scorching 35+ degree heat for an unforgettable lineup of world-class bands.

Summer Breeze Open Air, short SBOA or Breeze, is in sight. Last year showed two faces, sun and rain. Rain meant 32 hours of constant rain on very dry and hard ground.

After the weather disaster of Wacken, this year all metalheads hope for better conditions on this Franconian Metal Festival.
