Prepare your souls, metalheads—Resurrection Fest 2025 is set to shake the foundations of Viveiro from June 25 to June 28, 2025. What began as a modest celebration of extreme music has evolved into a globally recognized metal haven, attracting fans of all things loud, dark, and unapologetic. If you’re not already planning your pilgrimage to northern Spain, you’re missing out on the kind of epic chaos that defines our scene.
Let’s break down why Resurrection Fest 2025 is not just a festival—it’s a lifestyle, a rite of passage, and a must-attend event for anyone serious about metal, punk, and hardcore.
The Setting: Viveiro’s Coastal Paradise
Viveiro, a picturesque coastal town in Galicia, transforms into the ultimate gathering for misfits, headbangers, and goths each summer. Think rugged cliffs, stunning beaches, and an old-world charm that stands in stark contrast to the brutality of the music pouring from the stages.
If you need a breather from the pit, you can soak in the serenity of Playa de Covas, just a stone’s throw from the festival grounds. But let’s face it: no one’s coming here for R&R. This town becomes the infernal playground of thousands of devoted fans, and Viveiro wears its metalhead invasion like a badge of honor.
The Lineup: Heavy Hitters and Underground Legends
The lifeblood of any festival is its lineup, and Resurrection Fest has a reputation for curating an insane roster of acts that spans subgenres and generations. While the full lineup for 2025 hasn’t dropped yet, you can count on some of the biggest names in metal, punk, and hardcore sharing the stage with rising stars and underground legends.
Expect monstrous headliners that command stadiums alongside cult-favorites delivering face-melting sets. Whether you’re into black metal, deathcore, thrash, or straight-up punk anthems, Resurrection Fest always guarantees a lineup that feels like a carefully constructed mixtape from the gods of metal themselves.
The Stages: Where Chaos Reigns
Resurrection Fest boasts multiple stages, each catering to different sonic flavors.
- Main Stage: The arena for household names and iconic performances. Think pyro, epic singalongs, and wall-of-death-inducing anthems.
- Chaos Stage: Perfect for fans of hardcore, death metal, and anything that’ll have you throwing fists in the air (or at each other).
- Ritual Stage: A haven for black metal and doom enthusiasts who crave unholy vibes and bone-crushing riffs.
- Desert Stage: Stoner, sludge, and all things groovy reign supreme here. Think low-and-slow riffs under the sun.
Each stage is meticulously designed to create unique atmospheres. So, whether you’re crowd surfing in broad daylight or headbanging under a blood moon, Resurrection Fest delivers.
Beyond the Music: Community and Chaos
What sets Resurrection Fest apart from other festivals isn’t just the stellar lineup—it’s the community. This isn’t just a festival; it’s a tribal gathering of misfits who speak the universal language of metal.
The camaraderie in the campgrounds is unparalleled. Strangers become mosh-pit comrades, beer runs turn into lifelong friendships, and the late-night bonfires in the campsites are legendary. There’s a sense of belonging here that goes beyond the music—it’s about the shared love of a lifestyle.
