Tons of Rock 2025: A Müller-ific Tribute & A Tempting Addition!

Tons of Rock 2025 Expands Lineup: Backstreet Girls Tribute & Within Temptation Return

Norway’s biggest rock festival, Tons of Rock 2025, just announced two major additions to its already explosive lineup. This year’s festival at Ekeberg in Oslo will feature a special tribute to Norwegian rock legend Bjørn Müller and a highly anticipated return from symphonic metal giants Within Temptation.

Backstreet Girls Honor Bjørn Müller with a Special Tribute

Norwegian hard rock icons Backstreet Girls will take the stage to celebrate the life and legacy of Bjørn Müller, their late frontman and a true legend in Norwegian rock history. Known for their high-energy, boogie-driven hard rock, Backstreet Girls have been a staple of the Norwegian music scene since 1984, often compared to AC/DC for their raw, electrifying sound.

Müller’s passing left a lasting impact on the rock community, with tributes pouring in from fans and musicians across Norway. This special performance will celebrate his legacy in true rock ‘n’ roll fashion—loud, raw, and full of attitude.

“Bjørn Müller’s passion and dedication defined what we do at Tons of Rock. A tribute concert with Backstreet Girls is the perfect way to honor his memory.”
— Festival Director Jarle Kvåle

Within Temptation Returns to Tons of Rock

Dutch symphonic metal legends Within Temptation are set to make a powerful return to Tons of Rock 2025. Led by powerhouse vocalist Sharon den Adel, the band is known for its orchestral arrangements, soaring melodies, and dramatic live performances.

With a career spanning over two decades, Within Temptation has built a dedicated international following, performing at top European festivals like Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, and Sweden Rock. Their albums Mother Earth, The Silent Force, and The Unforgiving have solidified their status as one of the biggest names in symphonic metal. Fans can expect an unforgettable performance filled with powerful vocals, cinematic soundscapes, and anthemic energy.
