Dearest Dong congregation,
it’s cold outside – so we’re here to light a bit of a fire under your ass! We have the first four bands for you, so let’s get to it:
Ten years after their first rendezvous at on the Lower Rhine, Kissin’ Dynamite return in 2025 to prove that glam rock will still bring down the hill! The Swabians are touring the world and making a well-deserved stopover with their new album Back with a Bang! and want to see you in front of the stage!
Destruction make up a whole quarter of the Big Teutonic Four, cementing their place as one of the most influential bands of the thrash genre in all of Germany. Schmier and his guys will be traveling to the festival, ready to hit you with their new album “Birth of Malice! The release is set for March 2025 – so get ready for new and old material on Mount Moshmore!
Neurotic Machinery still like us despite last summer’s weather! The Czechs won’t be bringing beer from Pilsen, but instead their very own blend of death metal with elements of post metal and rock. Six albums and an EP should be enough material – as long as you don’t tire of this neurotic jewel of technical death metal in the circle pit!
Subterranean Masquerade will also be back to make up for their cancelled set, ready to show you what progressive metal can do! The guys mix elements from death and symphonic metal with classical string instruments and oriental sprinkles. Their palette is even broader, so be sure to check out what you can really look forward to in 2025!
And to feed your anticipation for July 17-19, 2025, don’t forget that the pre-sale starts soon! Tickets for the Dong Open Air 2025 will be available from December 8, 2024!
Diligent wishes
Your Dong Team
