Rockharz 2025 – We Made It
On the first of July, the time has come, I'm getting ready for the third festival in a row without an interruption. It means leaving Rock & Metal Day'z area for Ballenstedt after breakfast to attend the Rockharz Festival. This time, the journey there and back should be more relaxed and without major traffic jams and criss-crossing than in previous years. For the first time, different routes have been specified that lead to the various campgrounds.
All paths lead to Rockharz 2025 – traffic update –
The festival season of 2025 has already begun, with the calendar filling up with events each weekend. I have three festivals scheduled in a row, so it is no different for me:
First is Ulmich om Braand, located between Frankfurt and Fulda on the 20th and 21st of June. From there I will be heading to Rock & Metal Day’z at Oschersleben near Magdeburg, just 50 km away from my last festival on this tour. The festival runs from the 26th to the 28th of June, but I am part of the crew, so I will be there to help with setting up and taking down the festival during the week before and after. Finally, I will be heading to the Rockharz Festival in Ballenstedt from 2nd to 5th July.
30 years Rockharz – here we were!
Early July 2023, the metal community has already seen the first festivals this year, small ones like RMD’z at Oschersleben, or mid sized like Metal Frenzy Festival, Gardelegen in Germany or Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium and many more with Rock Harz Festival in plain sight. This year marks the 30th anniversary and promises the best line-up ever with some surprise acts for about 25.000 spectators.
30 years Rockharz – here we come!
We can call it a successful festival 2022, resulting into an already sold out festival 2023. The date is 5th to 8th July 2023 with the possibility to arrive from 4th on. It is the place which creates legends and tales to be told at the campfire from generation to generation of headbangers!
