Festivals have been stepping up their game globally, and Europe is once again proving to be a powerhouse of epic lineups. For those of us who can’t quite make the trip, it’s a bit of a tease—especially given the current state of travel and finances. But even if you’re just dreaming from afar, the lineup announcements for next year’s Rock Am Ring and Rock IM Park festivals are absolutely thrilling.
The initial lineup reveal already set high expectations, and now with 13 additional bands added, the excitement is off the charts. While the festival posters may present the lineup alphabetically, we know the heavyweights who are leading the charge. Slipknot was the first major headliner announced, and now Bring Me the Horizon has joined them as the second headliner. Other notable additions include Lorna Shore, Sleep Token, Jinjer, and Idles, all of which promise to deliver standout performances.
Corey Taylor, who rocked this year’s festivals, is set to return with Slipknot. Given the band’s whirlwind year and their upcoming tour early next year, it’s clear that fans are eager for more of their intense live shows. Here’s hoping the band can grab a breather amidst their busy schedule to recharge.
This year’s festival circuit also featured massive names like Green Day, Die Ärzte, and Måneskin at the top of the bill, with powerful sets from Machine Head, Avenged Sevenfold, and Parkway Drive.
