Rockfest isn’t just about the bands — it’s about the people.Here’s a look at the faces, energy, and frontline moments that defined Rockfest 2025 from the crowd’s perspective.
Rockfest 2025’s final main stage day celebrated attitude and legacy. Demolition 23, The Cult, and Manic Street Preachers shaped Saturday’s atmosphere before the night’s finale.
The edges were sharp on Rockfest 2025’s final day. From crushing modern metal to hardcore punk defiance, Ghostkid, Immortal Disfigurement, and Black Flag left their mark on the Red & Black Stages.
Rockfest’s second day delivered a powerful main stage lineup: Battle Beast flying the Finnish metal flag, Bullet For My Valentine celebrating 20 years of The Poison, and Till Lindemann closing the night with his unmistakable theatrical darkness.
Rockfest Friday wasn’t just about the main stage. From Dead By April and Awake Again to Jinjer and Cemetery Skyline, the Red and Black Stage delivered intensity, precision, and atmosphere in equal measure.
Sun, sweat, and steel… Rockfest 2025 opened in style in Turku. H.E.A.T. brought the fire, Sepultura gave Finland their final bow, and Judas Priest proved once more why they’re the Metal Gods.
Moon Shot, RØRY, and Stam1na took over Rockfest’s Red Stage and Black Stage with unforgettable performances, and we captured it all.
Pictures of the second day of Knotfest Finland that topped everything of the day before on all levels with kings of metal Slipknot, joined by bands like Shiraz Lane, Tesseract, Stoned Statues, Cradle of Filth, Medeia, Bring Me The Horizon, and Moon Shot!
