This year’s Rock im Park lineup is absolutely stacked—from heavy hitters like Slipknot and The Prodigy to genre-defying acts like Sleep Token and Electric Callboy. But among the thunderous riffs and face-melting breakdowns, there’s something else standing strong: a wave of incredible female-fronted and female-led artists bringing power, presence, and fresh energy to the stage.
- Spiritbox (Canada):
Frontwoman Courtney LaPlante is a vocal powerhouse. One moment she’s delivering clean, ethereal melodies, and the next she’s unleashing guttural screams that shake the crowd to its core. Spiritbox has become one of the most talked-out bands in modern metal, and with their genre-blending sound, they’re guaranteed to bring a dynamic and emotionally charged performance.
For fans of: Jinjer, Deftones, metalcore with progressive flair
Must Listen: “Holly Roller,” “The Summit,” “Circle With Me” - Stitched Up Heart (USA):
Led by the fierce and fearless Alecia “Mixi” Demner, Stiched Up Heart delivers melodic hard rock with emotional intensity and plenty of anthemic choruses. Their live energy is off the charts, with a brand new era of music underway—including the explosive track “To The Wolves—expect a set that’s both polished and unpredictable.
For fans of: Halestorm, In This Moment, goth-glam rock vibes
Must Listen: “Monster,” “Warrior,” “To The Wolves” (ft. Craig Mabbitt. - Kittie (Canada)
One word: legends. Kittie were pioneers of the 2000s nu-metal movement, breaking barriers for women in heavy music long before it became a conversation. After returning to the stage in 2023 with renewed fire and a heavier sound, they’re here to prove they’ve still got it—and then some.
For fans of: Slipnot, Otep, early 2000s metal nostalgia
Must Listen: “Brackish,” “Vultures,” “I’ve Failed You” - Aviva (Australia)
Aviva brings something totally different to Rock im Park—a fusion of alternative pop, emo rock, and electronic textures that resonate with the emotionally drive outcasts in all of us. Her aesthetic is dark, her sound infectious, and her message one of empowerment and self-acceptance.
For fans of: PVRIS, Halsey, Billie Eilish (with more edge)
Must-listen: “GRRRLS,” “Blame it On The Kids,” “Drown“ - Mia Morgan (Germany)
A rising voice in Germany’s alt-pop and darkwave scene, Mia Morgan blends gothic aesthetic with shimmering synths and introspective lyrics. Her music explores themes of femininity, melancholy, and self-expression with a uniquely German twist. Whether you’re into doom-pop or just looking for something complete different from the usual guitar-driven chaos, Mia Morgan is a must-see.
For fans of: Drangsal, Lorde, Neue Deutsche Welle with a modern edge.
Must-listen: “Wiedergänger,” “Waveboy,” “Fleisch”
