Concert Review
Wacken Open Air 2025 witnessed the triumphant return of Switzerland’s finest export: Krokus. With decades of hard rock anthems under their belt, the band stormed the stage and delivered a performance packed with grit, power, and classic rock swagger. From the opening blast of “Long Stick Goes Boom” to the high-octane closer “Headhunter,” Krokus proved that their brand of no-nonsense hard rock still hits like a freight train.

Frontman Marc Storace’s signature raspy vocals soared over the crowd, sounding as raw and powerful as in the band’s heyday. The twin-guitar attack brought sharp riffs and blistering solos that kept the audience on their feet. The setlist struck a balance between 80s classics and fan favorites, making it a night of pure nostalgia fused with undeniable live energy.

Highlights

• A roaring version of “Screaming in the Night,” with tens of thousands of fans singing in unison.

• The explosive guitar duel during “Heatstrokes,” showing off the band’s hard rock firepower.

• Storace’s commanding presence, rallying the crowd with every growl and fist pump.

Negative Point
The only downside was that some deeper cuts were missing from the setlist, leaving hardcore fans wishing for a few more surprises.

Concert Rating
★★★★☆ 4.5/5 – A thunderous, high-energy performance that captures the spirit of classic hard rock at its best. Essential viewing for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
