The final day of Rockfest 2025 on the main stage leaned heavily into legacy and attitude. Saturday’s program brought together the raw street rock energy of Demolition 23, the timeless swagger and dark mystique of The Cult, and the emotionally charged anthems of Manic Street Preachers.

While the night was ultimately crowned by headliners Muse, our lens focused on the artists we were able to capture — three performances that set the tone for Rockfest’s closing day and kept the main stage alive with character, conviction, and connection.
