The Hurricane Friday 2025 could have been remembered by many visitors as the most political festival experience in a long time. Hardly anyone who is celebrating this weekend can fully hide the global tensions – and the artists also seem to agree that it is not an option to close the eyes away from the political conflicts away from the stage.
Even Olli Schulz, who is not a joke on his set on the Forest Stage, was recently reminded of it on a vacation in Poland: only about 400 kilometers from here begins. His appeal to the crowd: “The AfD must never come to power.” Rise Against from Chicago is also concerned: “The country we have left will be different if we come back in a week,” said singer Tim Mcilrath before getting into her classic “Prayer of the Refugee”. But right now is a good time to be alive because your own voice is particularly important.
Friday at Hurricane 2025: Loud in Pride Month
Since more and more basic human rights are questioned and politicized from right, several acts with transgender or rainbow flags are shown in order to set a statement for the endangered variety in society. Kate Nash wears a T-shirt with the message “I just want to say if you’re trans and you’re reading this i love you and so do my mates”.
The carefree moments on Friday at Hurricane
Despite all the conflicts: at the Hurricane, the get -together, which takes care of each other, celebrates the cooperation this year. This becomes particularly clear with Leonids, who have jumped in a relatively spontaneous in White. The band had only received the request the day before – luck for the fans who say goodbye to the longest day of the year in the most beautiful sunset light on the Mountain Stage.
Olli Schulz is also looking for closeness to the spectators with the microphone, sacrificing his Willie-Nelson-Cap and clarifying on stage: “This is not a urine, that’s beer from the audience!”. The musician then has a tip for all campers: Earlier at the Roskilde Festival with Marcus Wiebusch, someone would have done her tent. So rather look into your own tent every few hours if everything is still okay.
On the River Stage next door, DJO, known as Steve with the hair roller from “Stranger Things”, delivers his TikTok hit “End of Beginning” and brings urban summer mood to the site with a relaxed sound.
Civil disobedience
Landmvrk’s civil disobedience in the evening: Crowdsurfing is strictly prohibited from the hurricane for the safety of visitors and crew and is punished with a concert ban. But if the band from Marseille calls it up, security is inevitable. From now on we behave again, honor word.
Captured, but no less quiet, AnnenMayKantereit is concerned: hits like the Kölsch-Heimatlied “Tommi” are sung from the whole festival. The biggest surprise for the fans: the tour promise for the next year.

Finally, Alligatoah lifts the satire level for the last big party moment of the day with me either “, you don’t want to talk to me about God either. The sterile officein which the musician seems to have fallen out of nowhere shortly before, is undoubtedly the most well -thought -out stage performance of the day. It is definitely worth looking at the stream here.
