This will be followed by Green Day in February 2025, as Ravel Entertainment continues to pamper fans. The excitement continues with the Hammersonic Convention and the five-city Saosin Indonesia Tour in May 2025.

Then there will be a performance by the giant alternative rock band from England, Muse, which will be held in September 2025, and at the peak, the legendary American rock band with charismatic vocalist Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters, in October 2025.

1. The Grand Rock Stage

With struggle, consistency, and uncompromising commitment, Hammersonic Festival has transformed into a stage and the main destination for rock music fans in Indonesia, the Asia region, and even in various parts of the world.

This festival successfully showcases dozens of bands from various sub-genres such as death metal, metalcore, hardcore punk, black metal, punk rock, emo, to grindcore, becoming a platform for consolidation and reunion for both domestic and international rock communities.

This is inseparable from the vision held firmly by the organizers, who see this celebration not just as a flashback. Ravel Junardy, CEO of Ravel Entertainment and Founder of Hammersonic Festival, explains that the upcoming edition is a representation of their strength in the music industry.

"The year 2026 is not just a celebration of Hammersonic's long journey, but a tangible proof of our dominance on the rock stage in the homeland and Asia," said Ravel.

"Hammersonic will continue to grow, evolve, and develop. We are not only uniting across generations, but creating a new wave," said Ravel.

This approach is expected to maintain curiosity and provide a deeper experience for loyal fans. Throughout its journey, Hammersonic has successfully brought hundreds of world-class bands to Indonesia, solidifying its position as one of the most anticipated music festivals.
