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:-)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
