Dear ROCKHARZers!
Almost a week of Harzer Metal Madness is behind us! While the wave of departures is coming to an end, many hard-working people are busy transforming the festival grounds back into an airfield.
We would like to thank you for what we consider to be a very successful and particularly smooth ROCKHARZ! After surviving the scorching heat of Ballenstedt on Tuesday and Wednesday, we were able to enjoy the rest of the festival in near-perfect weather, albeit very dusty due to the dry conditions. ROCKHARZ went off without any notable incidents and once again provided us with a relaxed, peaceful festival with a unique atmosphere.
We would particularly like to emphasize once again your exemplary behavior with regard to the dry conditions and your caution when barbecuing and smoking. Nothing happened! We would like to thank you once again for this! It is always a pleasure for us to organize this festival for you, and we can only emphasize once again: you are the best audience one could wish for!
But as happy and proud as we are, and even a little exhausted, given how ROCKHARZ 2025 went… We can’t rest, because tomorrow we’re turning over the calendar, and ROCKHARZ 2026 is already calling!
Over the course of tomorrow, we will be setting the course for the coming festival year. The anticipation for the already confirmed artists, including heavyweights such as HELLOWEEN, ALICE COOPER, and EMPEROR, as well as beloved regulars such as our friends from KNORKATOR and SUBWAY TO SALLY and more than a dozen other acts, is growing!
Advance ticket sales for the upcoming festival will start tomorrow, Monday, July 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. As usual, our popular early bird packages with T-shirts and early bird tickets will be available!
NEW: For the first time, we will include our ROCKHARZ magazine with every ticket; a festival-related magazine with lots of information, photos, and stories from the ROCKHARZ universe. We are excited to see how you like it!
PLEASE NOTE: Once again this year, advance ticket sales will be EXCLUSIVE TO OUR REGULAR GUESTS for the first three days so that they can secure their tickets at their leisure. Starting Thursday, new customers will also be able to order tickets.
Thank you once again for your incredible support! SEE YOU AT THE DEVIL’S WALL @ ROCKHARZ 2026!!!
Your ROCKHARZ team
