In Extremo are among the great innovators of contemporary music history: as the first
band that became legendary by combining medieval stylistic elements with modern,
hard rock sounds, thus inventing a completely unique, previously unheard-of genre.
In 2025, the founding of In Extremo will be celebrated for the 30th time: to appropriately
celebrate this occasion with their fans, the six musicians will hold a large,
three-day anniversary festival at the Loreley Freilichtbühne from 04 to 06.09.2025.
Numerous friends and musical companions will enhance the big birthday party with their performances.
In Extremo will close each evening as headliners on all three days.
“We are proud and glad that so many high-caliber bands, musicians, and performers
have accepted our invitation to spend these special days with us and, without a doubt,
provide our shared audience with one of the greatest concert experiences of 2025.
It won’t be seen in this form again anytime soon, and we are already full of anticipation
for this magical weekend together with our fans,” said In Extremo frontman Michael Rhein
regarding the announcement of one of the highlights of next year's open-air season.
Even in the third decade after their band was founded, In Extremo still play at the forefront
in the Champions League of the international rock scene:
With their freshly released 13th album “Wolkenschieber,” they just secured the number 2 position
on the German charts, headlined at Wacken, the largest rock festival in the world, and
once again thrilled tens of thousands of fans this summer as part of their concert series
“Burgentour.” After celebrated concerts in South America, Spain, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland,
they celebrated the finale of the summer of '24 in front of 10,000 fans with the sold-out,
band-owned In Extremo festival “We Wake the Dead.”
With their captivating signature sound, In Extremo have developed into one of the most
famous and successful German-speaking bands, attracting a global audience of millions
for nearly three turbulent decades. They have awakened the dead, have been adored and spat upon,
have marched into the singer's war as unruly sinners with their racing hearts.
And they followed their compass to the sun after the art theft: after eight albums
awarded with precious metals (of which no less than four topped the German longplay charts),
the tightly knit musicians have come together again to dispel dark thoughts in uncertain times
and with “Wolkenschieber” to bring new courage, hope, and a lot of good cheer!
At their concerts, one thought has always stood in the foreground: that of celebration,
sociability, and community. Whether at early medieval market appearances or during large
arena shows around the globe – a connection that In Extremo has forged closely with their fans
near and far over thirty exciting years and which Michael Rhein, Sebastian Lange,
Kay Lutter, André “Dr. Pymonte” Strugala, Marco Zorzytzky, and Florian “Specki T.D.” Speckardt
honor with their 13th studio album.
From 04 to 06.09.2025, In Extremo will set another highlight of the many highlights in the
remarkable career of one of the most unusual bands in German music history with “30 Years In Extremo - The Anniversary Festival”!
Doors open: 10:30 AM
