Rock am Ring is happening this weekend. All important information about the festival at the Nürburgring can be found here.
Rock am Ring will take place from June 2, 2023. As always, the festival will be held at the Nürburgring in the Eifel. The parallel festival Rock im Park takes place in the city of Nuremberg in Bavaria. Not only the timing, but also the line-up are almost identical at both Open Airs. The ticket prices hardly differ either.
Die Toten Hosen are the headliners again this year. Other main acts include Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly, Apache 207, KIZ, NOFX, Tenacious D, Limp Bizkit, Rise Against and the Foo Fighters opening the festival. On Saturday, Kings of Leon, Incubus and Papa Roach will rock the stage. Bullet For My Valentine, who stepped in for Fiver Finger Death Punch at short notice, will play on Sunday.
Aviva, Bad Wolves and The Distillers also had to cancel their tours and the associated appearances at Rock am Ring. Instead, there are: Hot Milk, The Foxies and the Warsteiner Bandcontest winner Friends Don’t Lie.
