Southside Festival Day 3

After two days of great weather, our final day at Southside Festival 2025 began with a thunderstorm warning for the late evening and night, prompting mass-packing across the festival grounds. Many decided to take down their tents and made plans to leave right after the festival ended. However, the change in plans didn’t affect the spirits of the crowd. As the first beers of the day were cracked open, masses made their way to the festival entrance by 11:30 am.

Musical Highlights - final Day of Southside Festival 2025:

Zartmann: German indie singer-songwriter Zartmann has quickly risen to national prominence over the past two years. Breakout hits like tau mich auf pushed him into the spotlight, drawing a massive crowd to Southside Festival - even under the blazing sun at just 2:45 PM. His set was a well-balanced mix of heartfelt, slower songs like für immer? and einen Anruf entfernt, alongside the high-energy anthems that had the entire audience jumping.

Sam Fender: Sam and his band brought great energy to the stage, playing several songs from his new album. The crowd sang along to almost every word, showing strong support. The show ended with his hit “Seventeen Going Under”, creating a big, memorable finale. The stage effects, including pyrotechnics, added to the excitement. Although Sam wasn’t feeling well, he gave his best. His band backed him up strongly and kept the performance exciting.

01099: From the very first moment, 01099 brought pure energy. The German band knew exactly how to put on a show - completed by an impressive stage setup, fire effects, and a full dose of spectacle. They gave it their all, and the crowd responded with equal enthusiasm. The sea of fans stretched far across the festival grounds, singing along to every word. One standout moment: during Schönhauser, they brought Zartmann back on stage for a surprise joint performance that sent the audience into happy chaos.

Apache: The festival ended in a highlight: Apache showed off all his talent and put on a fantastic show, driving through the crowd on a massive boat and blasting off fireworks to give Southside Festival 2025 a well-deserved ending.
