The first headline act for Rock Werchter 2025 has been announced, and it feels like Christmas, Easter, and New Year’s Day all rolled into one. All-time fan favourite Green Day will headline the Main Stage on Friday 4 July. Expect a powerful, high-octane performance from Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool. Always energetic, generous, and delightfully crazy, a Green Day show is a true celebration.
Rock Werchter 2025 will take place at the Festivalpark in Werchter (Belgium) from Thursday 3 July to Sunday 6 July. Ticket sales start on Friday 22 November at 10 AM. Pre-registering, which grants earlier access to festival tickets, is open now. More names for Rock Werchter 2025 will be announced soon. Stay tuned to rockwerchter.be.
Formed in 1986 in Berkeley, California, Green Day is one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time, with more than 75 million records sold worldwide and 10 billion cumulative audio/visual streams. The five-time Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees released their breakout album ‘Dookie’ in 1994. The album is widely credited with popularising and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock. In 2004 Green Day released the socially critical rock opera ‘American Idiot’, selling more than eight million copies in the U.S. alone and taking home a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. In 2024 the band released its highly anticipated 14th studio album, ‘Saviors’, which received widespread critical praise. Rolling Stone described it as “huge songs and snotty satire for a world on fire”.
Green Day is rock royalty. The California trio are no strangers to Rock Werchter, having previously performed at the festival in 2005, 2010, and 2013.
