it's been in temptation for a few years, not this year but last years lineup was top draw. This wasn't too bad but 30 STM headlining just made it look off a bit lol.

what other euro fests have you done to compare it to? i quite fancy sziget but lineup was very patchy this year, some stand outs like blur but not much else.

werchter is the one talked about between friends, roskilde just seems too pricey. i did go way abroad this year but it was a bit more significant that just a couple of hours away

The only other festival I've been to outside of England was Rock'n'Heim. It's run by the same person but the difference between the festivals is crazy! Rock am ring really has to be seen to be believed. The camp site is extraordinary. The things I've seen there! Other festival goers set up huge marquees with massive gig amps inside, hooked up to their music and they play it all night. They never stop drinking, it's honestly a week long party.

There seems to be a pattern where they have lesser line ups on odd numbered years. My first time in 2010, the line up was perfect for my taste, 2012 was also very good. I agree about 30STM headlining, I didn't watch them because I can't stand them. Luckily they were on at the same time as Limp Bizkit and Korm!

If you want to spend a week going a bit crazy, and drinking with a load of basically crazy Germans then Rock am Ring is worth your money!

Hi to all

never been at RAR or RIP but I'm thinking of going next year

and I have some questions hope you could help me

*when the first names of the lineup usually announce?

*is the VIP really deserves the extra money?

*what is the difference between RAR & RIP (beside the streaming of RAR)?

*I'm looking at hotels near the festival site but I see it's not that close (about 45 minutes walk) so is there any bus/train that I can take to the festival site that include in the festival ticket?

and also can you tell me about hotels you've been and recommend?

thank you!

Roughly you get a headliner or two before earlybird sales end, a dozen or so teaser around Christmas and pretty much the whole lot early in the year beofre it sells out

*is the VIP really deserves the extra money?

Depends if you want a festival experience or not....

*what is the difference between RAR & RIP (beside the streaming of RAR)?

RAR is at the nurburgring, RIP is in the town of Nuremborg, using a stadium and a park

*I'm looking at hotels near the festival site but I see it's not that close (about 45 minutes walk) so is there any bus/train that I can take to the festival site that include in the festival ticket?

Would suggest a hotel takes you away from the festival feeling, there are some in the outlying villages and one right outside the enterance, proably sold out aaaages ago!

and also can you tell me about hotels you've been and recommend?

best tip is to check out the FAQ on previous years forum along with site and bus maps.......

thank you!

It's ok:-)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
