beards Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I put in a request for leave for next years Rock am Ring today, so now I can officially get the ball rolling! It's supposed to be a 4 day festival next year, too good to turn down. Who's in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beards Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 it is a good fest though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I love it, if I go next year then it'll be my 5th time in a row. The atmosphere around the festival, especially in the campsite, is incredible. German people know how to do festivals! Think you'd be tempted?

Sparticus Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operator Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) 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!

thewayiam Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 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!

amfest12 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 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!

selinaj84 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Does anybody know when the tickets go on sale? Also is it quite easy to pirchse from the uk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexmole Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 *when the first names of the lineup usually announce? 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:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
