The line-up of Brainstorm Festival 2025 is complete. As last artists, the symphonic metal band Symphonity (CZ) and the Dutch pianist BARTH. added to the line-up. Two trendsetters who provide the festival with the finishing touch. We start selling daytickets right away as well.
Symphonity is a welcome guest on international stages. The Czech band regularly tours through Europe and appears on the bill of great festivals. Yet the band has not previously performed at Brainstorm Festival. Until now! Expect an energetic show full of bombastic metal!
BARTH is something completely different. This Dutch pianist gives an intimate concert in our theater hall. Behind the stage name BARTH. hides the Dutch pianist/composer Bart van Hanswijk. His neoclassical music is inspired by humanity, nature and the search for inner peace.
This year, Fabio Lione’s Dawn Of Victory will headline Brainstorm Festival. Furthermore, InnerWish, The Awakening (Friday mainstage, Saturday theaterstage), Iotunn, Within Silence, Never Obey Again and Sledeon are confirmed. Finally, the Italian band Alterium will play an acoustic show on the theaterstage and the band will provide spontaneous unplugged shows in the café on Saturday evening. The last bands will be announced in the near future.
Brainstorm Festival will be held on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 November at Podium Gigant in Apeldoorn. In addition to performances on the mainstage, special shows can be seen in the accompanying theater hall. The festival also offers space for an exhibition, a metalmarket, clinics, interviews and meet & greets.
