R.A.M.P., BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA and GAEREA confirmed at the EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL

AN EPIC MEETING OF GENERATIONS OF WEIGHT! EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL returns to Lisbon on 27, 28 and 29 June 2025 with its first outdoor edition, promising three days of memorable concerts at the emblematic Restelo Stadium.

Already consolidated as one of the most relevant festivals in the European heavy music scene, with the confirmation of the presence of SLIPKNOT, KORN, JUDAS PRIEST, TILL LINDEMANN, FALLING IN REVERSE, EAGLES OF DEATH METAL and JINJER, the event has raised the bar with the first names of a poster that reflects the richness and diversity of the genre, spanning several generations of fans and artists.

As the silver of the house also shines at EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL today, Monday, December 23, it is with great enthusiasm that Prime Artists announces the first confirmed national bands for the 2025 edition of an event that continues to affirm-as one of the most vibrant celebrations of heavy music in Portugal and Europe. Therefore, next year, the stage of the event will receive three colossi of the Portuguese musical panorama: R.A.M.P., BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA and GAEREA. Three names reinforce the commitment of the festival to reflect the richness and diversity of music made with guitars, providing a transversal experience.

The R.A.M.P. are, from the outset, a highlight of this new round of confirmations. They are already recognized as one of the most emblematic bands of Portuguese metal, their career of more than three decades is marked by numerous unmissable successes and, much more than just a symbol of longevity in the national musical panorama, are also a huge example of constant evolution and perseverance, keeping a loyal fan base while continuing to attract new audiences. His live energy, driven by the charismatic presence of Rui Duarte and the creative force of Ricardo Mendonça, continues to transform each show into a moment of communion with the audience and the performance at EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL promises to reaffirm the iconic status of a band that has never tired of rowing against the tide.

THE BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA bring with them a visceral and raw intensity that few can match. Over more than three decades of career, the collective has become a unique phenomenon, merging industrial and metal with a theatrical and raw approach, which captures the attention of all who see it on stage. Rui Sidónio, with his unsettling and magnetic presence, conducts a show that transcends music, while Miguel Fonseca and other elements of the band create sound landscapes as hypnotic as they are overwhelming. Hymns such as «The Exiled Angel», «Ergastole» and «The Oedipus Procession» have already become cathartic moments in their concerts, turning the audience into a chorus of emotions. As such, the presence of the quartet at Estádio do Restelo will be an invitation to immerse yourself in the sound and visual intensity that defines this unique band.

In turn, GAEREA continues to assert itself as one of the most relevant proposals of contemporary extreme metal, taking the name of Portugal to international stages with a dose of undeniable talent and a unique artistic approach. The collective stands out for its visual and sound aesthetics and, on stage, masterfully combines weight and melancholy, transporting the audience to a dark and introspective universe. With acclaimed albums such as «Limbo», «Mirage» or the latest «Coma», GAEREA have built a solid base of followers around the world and their performance at EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL promises to be one of the highlights of the event, with an atmospheric intensity that will not leave anyone indifferent.

The EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL poster already has ten names that illustrate the richness and diversity of the next edition of the event. The lineup stands out for appealing to both long-time fans and new generations, making the event a must-see opportunity for any heavy music enthusiast. More than just a festival, this edition promises to be a true celebration of the genre, uniting different eras and styles in a tribute to its evolution and impact. With a poster that combines the giants who defined the past with the voices that will shape the future, EVILLIVƎ FESTIVAL is a space for intergenerational encounters where parents, children and grandchildren can share a common passion in a unique musical communion.
