The first real rock bang of the year is called Nordic Noise and it has been like that since 2013. Today Nordic Noise have announced the whole shebang for 2025. The full poster, the full line-up and the full schedule and ticket sales. For the second year in a row, the festival takes place in Hvidovre, Copenhagen, at the venue Kometen.
Tyketto returns to Denmark for the first time in 35 years!
The ultimate headliner is the melodic hard-rock band Tyketto. The band has been on Nordic Noise‘s wish list for a long time and now the festival finally manage to get the great American band to Denmark – for the first time in many years!
“It has been many years since Tyketto has had the pleasure of playing in Denmark so we are extremely excited to announce that we will be headlining the Nordic Noise Festival at Kometen in Hvidovre on Saturday, May 10, 2025. We will be bringing our best for our Danish fans that have patiently waited a long time to see us play and hope to see and meet as many of you as we can. Is this Hygge? I don’t know but I feel pretty warm and fuzzy right now! Rock on, Nordic Noise!!! See you in May”. Danny Vaughn, Tyketto
Nordic Noise 2025 shows its teeth
From the UK Nordic Noise welcomes Blitzkrieg. One of the biggest bands within the NWOBHM genre formed back in 1980. The band fronted by the legendary Brian Ross (also from Satan), can be recognized by many as Metallica has re-recorded the signature song ‘Blitzkrieg‘ several times and often mentions Blitzkrieg as a great inspiration. Blitzkrieg will release a new album this Autumn. From Sweden, Nordic Noise are proud to welcome Wolf. A classic heavy metal band with roots deep in speed metal. And when we talk speed metal, also say hello to the new boys in the class, Crucible (with members from Impalers and Pectora) and Denmark’s biggest band within the genre, album-current Steel Inferno! And when you say speed metal, many automatically also say thrash. After an extensive US tour with a new line-up and new material (the band goes into the studio in the autumn), the legendary Artillery enters the Nordic Noise stage with confidence. Other Danish bands are Danish power house Manticora, who have toured heavily, recently, at home and abroad, and the heavy rockers from Statement, who will be album-current with their fifth record for Nordic Noise 2025 and use the stage to hold a release party.
Focus on women in rock’n’roll
For Nordic Noise it is important to focus on women within rock music and give space and focus to the importance of this genre also including women in rock’n’roll, which is otherwise primarily dominated by men on the stage. Danish Press To Enter (recommended by Soren Andersen), who move in the progressive end of rock and WTM that plays high-to-the-ceiling metal, with a good melody and power.
And to complete Nordic Noise 2025, Swedish sleaze-rock from Toxic Rose, which both looks and sounds like the real deal – and after many requests, a welcome back to Norwegian Stargazer, who provided one of the highlights for Nordic Noise in 2023 and now again will have a new album out.
In short, Nordic Noise 2025 will be a mecca for those who cultivate both the melodic part of hard rock, sleaze rock and heavy metal – as well as those who want a little more speed / thrash metal edge. See you in Kometen in Hvidovre, Copenhagen on 9 and 10 May. This year’s festival was almost sold out, so it is recommended to get the tickets before the Swedes grab them 😊
