The 25th anniversary of Groezrock Festival confirmed for 2016

By Ben Tipple

Early bird tickets for next year’s Groezrock Festival will go on sale this evening. 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the festival which has celebrated some of the biggest names in punk and rock since starting in 1992.

Headlined by Social Distortion and Refused this year, organisers are set to announce the first of next year’s headliners next week.

Teasing the announcement on Facebook, Groezrock have confirmed this to be the first time the band will bring this show to Europe. “Expect it to be crazy,” they add.

“We spent quite some time sitting on our asses in the sun, while sipping cocktails and enjoying Sven Van Hees’ latest lounge set,” Groezrock have said in their full statement.

“And we hung out at a whole bunch of great festivals drinking beer and missing most of the bands we actually wanted to see.”

“Anyway, now that summer is over, we have to get back to work to make next year’s Groezrock a reality. And seeing as this will be our 25th anniversary edition, we are aiming for something truly memorable.”

Speaking of the early bird tickets, which offer a 25EUR discount on weekend tickets, the statement goes on to say, “But hey, maybe we’ll give you one for free if you can hook us up with Kanye West’s booking agent. Or we’ll give you 10, if you can bring every Ramone back to life!”
