Rock Am Ring And Rock Im Park
The Rock am Ring (Rock at the Ring) and Rock im Park (Rock in the Park) festivals are two simultaneous rock music festivals held annually in Germany. While Rock am Ring takes place at the Nürburgring racetrack 50°20′10″N 06°56′48″E / 50.33611°N 6.94667°E / 50.33611; 6.94667 in the west of Germany, Rock im Park takes place around the Frankenstadion 49°25′44″N 11°07′19″E / 49.42889°N 11.12194°E / 49.42889; 11.12194 in Nuremberg, in the south of Germany.
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 will be announced for one of the festivals only.
Together Rock im Park and Rock am Ring are the largest music festivals in Germany 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.
