Rock Am Ring

The Rock am Ring (German: Rock at the Ring) and Rock im Park (German: Rock in the Park) festivals are two simultaneous rock music festivals held annually. While Rock am Ring takes place at the Nürburgring racetrack in Nürburg (50°20′10″N 06°56′48″E), in the west; Rock im Park takes place at the Zeppelinfeld (49°25′44″N 11°07′19″E) in Nuremberg, in the south. Both festivals are usually regarded as one event with a mostly identical lineup for both festivals. All artists perform one day at Nürburgring and another day in Nuremberg during the three-day event. There have been minor exceptions in the past years where an artist would be announced for one of the festivals only. Together Rock im Park and Rock am Ring are the largest music festivals and one of the largest in the world with a combined attendance of just over 150,000 people in 2007, selling out both events in advance for the first time.
