Rock Fest 2025, set to take place from July 17-19 in Cadott, Wisconsin, is scheduled to be an extravagant gathering for fans of heavy rock music. This largest three-day rock music and camping event in the U.S. promises a blend of iconic headliners and emerging talents, featuring a captivating lineup of over 80 bands, including 26 national acts performing at the festival for the first time. Headliners for this year include a trio of heavyweight acts: Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch, and Bad Omens. Each of these bands not only brings its unique sound and fan base but also contributes significantly to the festival's dynamic and electrifying atmosphere.

Rob Zombie, known for his theatrical performances and fusion of horror and metal, takes center stage on Thursday, July 17th. Sharing the day’s lineup with Rob Zombie are contemporary heavy bands like Knocked Loose, Slaughter to Prevail, and Architects. These bands are renowned for their intense performances, and their inclusion promises a night filled with high-energy and elaborately intense metal, appealing to both veteran rock aficionados and newcomers.

Following the intense opening day, Friday, July 18th continues the momentum with Five Finger Death Punch headlining the lineup. Other noteworthy acts on this day include In This Moment, Nothing More, and Yelawolf, all of whom are poised to deliver diverse sonic experiences, combining elements of metal, hip-hop, and rock that will keep fans engaged and fascinated throughout the night.

Bad Omens closes the festival on Saturday, July 19th, solidifying a weekend of diverse musical exploration. Alongside them, bands such as Three Days Grace, Ja Rule, and Poppy exemplify the festival's eclectic approach, offering performances that traverse the spectrum of rock, metal, and even alternative genres. Moreover, the inclusion of artists like We Came As Romans and Sick Puppies ensures that alternative metal and post-hardcore genres are well represented, catering to fans across multiple rock subgenres.

The festivities at Rock Fest 2025 aren't confined solely to music; the festival organizers have also promised additional entertainment options, such as an adrenaline-pumping WFC Kickboxing tournament, featuring more than 100 fighters. This initiative highlights the festival's emphasis on creating a multifaceted experience that combines sports and music, offering something exciting for everyone in attendance.

In addition to these headlining acts, the festival’s “Bonus Bash” on Wednesday, July 16th offers early-arriving fans a prelude to the weekend's festivities. This special evening event includes performances by Eve 6, Drowning Pool, and Born of Osiris, among others.
