Rock im Park 2016

[Laura L]

Hello everyone, 

We're flying to Germany in June for Rock im Park for the first time and are wandering how people have taken camping gear on flights in the past, I've read some stuff about people just strapping them to their backpacks and then checking that in?

We are also wandering what the rules are about bringing our own alcohol in if we find a supermarket nearby? And finally, just any advice, tips, information anyone might have about the festival!

I've only ever done rock am ring, but we did exactly that with our tents. As long as you're under the weight you'll be fine.

you could also pre-book a tent and pick it up on the site from this website: http://www.helgaa-festival.de/ (they havent updated for Rock im Park for 2016 but i have used it the last 3 years)

As for alcohol, you can bring in as much as you want to the campsite as long as it is not in glass bottles.

To bring alcohol to the stages, it must be in a carton that is a maximum of 1 litre.

Is it the same for water too? And are there a lot of taps there? 

Also, how far is the camp from stages and how long it takes to go from one stage to another? 

Sorry  

[RonanM]

yep you can only bring 1 litre of water in a carton! 

from camp to stages can take anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes depending on where you camp and the amount of people getting searched at security. The camp site is so stretched out

It takes about 5 minutes to move around all 3 stages depending on the amount of people around.

Thanks! What do you think, when will they announce more bands? 

[RonanM]

there will be another small announcement within the next few weeks i would say, due to the ticket prices going up this weekend for RiP, could even be this week.

There are only about 15/20 more acts to announce though so dont be expecting too much.
