Rock Werchter unveils Fontaines DC, Amyl and the Sniffers, RAYE and more for 2025 lineup

Rock Werchter has added 14 new names to the bill for 2025, including festival favourites Fontaines DC, riotous Aussie punks Amyl and the Sniffers, and vocal powerhouse RAYE.

Also among the new additions are alt-pop stalwart girl in red (whose latest album ‘I’M DOING IT AGAIN BABY’ came out back in April), breakout indie stars Wet Leg, and the Mercury Prize-shortlisted DJ Barry Can’t Swim, while established crowd-pleasers Simple Minds and Elbow will also be joining the fun. 

They join an already-stacked lineup that includes some of the world’s biggest artists - kicking things off on Thursday 3rd July are rock titans Linkin Park, whilst Rock Werchter regulars Green Day will headline on Friday night (it’ll be their fourth time visiting the site!). Sam Fender - who’s just announced his much-anticipated third album ‘People Watching’ - will be the main event on Saturday 5th July, and closing the festival in style is Olivia Rodrigo - the Grammy-nominated, chart-topping star who’ll be making Rock Werchter history as the festival’s youngest ever headliner.

Due to take place from 3rd-6th July 2025 at Belgium’s Festivalpark Werchter, the festival’s next edition will welcome music heavyweights old and new for four days showcasing some of the very best names in contemporary pop and rock. 

More names for Rock Werchter 2025 will be revealed in due course, but in the meantime you can pre-register for tickets here before they go on general sale at 10am tomorrow (Friday 22nd November) from the festival’s website.
