Actually camping opens Wednesday. There is a bit of discussion on Facebook because of a new 20 Euros fee for early camping. Until a few years ago camping started Tuesday with some campers even showing up on Monday so there's a tradition of extending the stay at Rock am Ring beyond the music days.

biffoire Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Day splits have been announced and only 2 clashes I can see. Biffy and Sabbath and Deftones and Triv. Seen Sabbath and Triv plenty so decision made. Cant wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Black Sabbath vs Biffy Clyro is the worst clash imaginable for me. Both in my top 3 alongside RHCP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipayne Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Aye that Biffy and Sabbath clash is awful! If they'd have placed Biffy against Volbeat that would have been perfect, no other clashes that bother me too much apart from that though.

biffoire Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'm gonna catch the beginning and end of Sabbath I think. And hope getting in to the second stage is easy enough. They stopped people going in for Slipknot due to overcrowding but they were headlining. I'm sure Biffy won't be that busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try and catch both sets but from past experience I've found it's affected my enjoyment of the gig when I'm thinking that I have to get to another stage so I'll see one and stick with it, If I'm not really into it I'll go see the other band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonanM Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 very nice timetable for me with no real clashes! cant wait to go now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklord Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) Black Sabbath play for about 80 to 90 minutes. They won't play 2 hours but that means that they are either going to be late 20-30 minutes or finish 20-30 minutes early. If they finish early you won't get a chance to see them but if they are late you can see last 20 minutes or so.

As for arriving on Friday, it will be difficult to find a campsite and you may be looking for quite a while! but you will eventually find a spot id imagine!

ArielBiMBa Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hi, So the official grounds map of Rock im Park has been released (There's also a better, more detailed version in the festival application. too bad it's only in German =/) :https://assets.mlk-festivals.com/attachment/909/file/f1ba67cecd268479cfe928305eb3869d.pdf I was wondering if anyone knows what the marked sign in the attached picture is, and does it mean it is an entrance to the camping area (I'd like to camp in area 4 and if that's an entrance it will be the most convenient one for it). also - Does anyone know how much a pre-paid sim card in Germany cost and do you have any recommendations on a specific one? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! yes there is an entrance to the camp sites there! the exact meaning for the sign is that it is where you get your ticket exchanged for a wristband!

thewayiam Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 They haven't pulled out much with this lineup this year either tbh, Friday being best but Saturday isn't good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomised Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Hope that all those at rock am ring are safe and not amongst the injured after this mornings lightning strike And thoughts with the 51 who have been injured Edited June 4, 2016 by atomised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning1000 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Also feel bad for everyone who's had their weekends ruined now the festival has been suspended. I was going here or werchter this year and chose the latter. Then bands were announced and I was gutted, now I feel like I've dodged a bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't me saying you are approving what happened as good btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Wow, I was at Rock im Park without internet or anything (really nice experience) and didn't know it was that bad at RaR, I've heard that Tenacious D (I think) played half of their set and bands on Sunday said a few times some things about Saturday at RaR... I hope everyone is all right now. Anyway. My first experience there. I liked the venue, the sound, the bands, the atmosphere. I didn't like camping and the atmosphere in camp, way to many guys who just came to drink and not for bands, it was annoying. Also, do Germans shower at festivals? I mean, I get it, it's 3€ but about 50% smelled like pigs, it smelled really bad. Werchter, Exit and Sziget had so much better camping. Top 5 sets (no order): RHCP - perfect setlist for me, so many great old songs Nobody Weird Like Me, Sir Psycho Sexy, Me and My Friends, 2 new songs and hits. BMTH - surprise of the weekend for me, I knew (and still know haha) 6-7 songs but they were really amazing live and crowd so into it. Volbeat - they came prepared, best stage and stage presence, a lot of songs and rain didn't stop them. Black Sabbath - amazing musicians, drummer, Clufetos, stole the show. I can't imagine how Ward sounded in his prime because this was amazing. Deftones - loved their energy and setlist, the crowd was pretty good too where I was at. Bottom 5 sets: Tenacious D x5 - the worst concert by far, poor scripted jokes, way too many pauses, no energy and they could have been so much better. So many missed opportunities, to many pointless "solos"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
