RISE AGAINST Deliver Career-Spanning Set at Southside Festival 2025


Chicago punk rock torchbearers RISE AGAINST lit up Southside Festival 2025 this past weekend in Neuhausen ob Eck, Germany, with a thunderous and emotionally charged performance that reaffirmed their status as one of the genre’s most vital voices.

Taking the stage on June 22, the band tore through a dynamic setlist that spanned over two decades of politically charged anthems and melodic hardcore staples. Opening with the explosive Re-Education (Through Labor) and closing with the fan-favorite Savior, RISE AGAINST delivered a tightly executed show packed with energy, heart, and meaning.

Backed by powerful visuals and tight musicianship, RISE AGAINST reaffirmed their reputation as one of punk’s most enduring and relevant acts, with material from their Nowhere Generation era sitting comfortably alongside early 2000s classics.
