Burning Q Festival 2025: A Metal Extravaganza in Freissenbüttel

The Burning Q Festival, a renowned metal music event, is set to return for its 13th edition on Friday, July 25th, and Saturday, July 26th, in Freissenbüttel near Osterholz-Scharmbeck. This year's event promises to be a major spectacle for metal fans, with a diverse lineup of 30 bands from various metal genres.

The concert stages will be played alternately to avoid competition between bands, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for attendees. The festivities kick off on Thursday evening, July 24th, with a tent stage opening at 7 pm for an additional charge of 10 euros. Tickets for Friday are available, priced at 45 euros, and can be purchased online or at the box office.

The festival site will open earlier than last year, at 12 pm on Friday, with arrivals possible from 10 am. However, the opening evening is limited to a certain number of tickets, so early booking is recommended.

In addition to the music, the Burning Q Festival will offer a variety of food and drink options. Beer, as well as vegetarian and vegan delights, will be available at moderate prices. Food stalls will offer festival-style favourites such as grilled meats, snacks, and beverages.

Other activities at the festival include Metal Yoga, a fire show by Freies Feuer, and an after-show party in the festival tent. While specific details on additional activities and merchandise stands are not yet confirmed, attendees can expect a vibrant and engaging atmosphere.

For the first time, the campsite will open for 400 arrivals on Thursday at 3 pm. The entrance on Saturday opens at 12 pm. Please note that combined tickets for both festival days and camping are sold out.

For those unable to attend in person, the Burning Q Festival will be live-streamed. For precise details on activities, food options, and live stream links, it would be best to consult the official festival website or social media pages.

The Burning Q Festival is shaping up to be an unmissable event for metal enthusiasts, showcasing a wide range of genres from doom and sludge to black metal with punk influences to blackened thrash metal.
