Rock am Ring 2024: Germany’s Greatest Rock Music Festival 

The Rock am Ring, or Rock at the Ring in German, is the ultimate European rock music festival that you shouldn’t miss. Held annually over three days, the event’s historic grounds are at the world-famous Nürburgring motorsports circuit in Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, which previously hosted the F1 grand prix.

The festival was originally intended to be just a one-time event celebrating the launch of the newer and shorter race track back in 1985. But due to a surprising massive turnout of over 75,000 members, organizers decided to make it a yearly festival which is now one of the world’s biggest and most well-attended rock music events. Today, over 150,000 people from all over the world come to Germany to see rock legends perform each year.

Over 30 amazing Rock am Ring events have been held since then, with U2 being one of the first to grace the stage in 1985. Other big names from the heavy metal, full-throttle rock, and punk music arenas have solidified the event’s reputation as THE rock music festival to attend: Foo Fighters, Marilyn Manson, Gorillaz, Jimmy Eat World, Interpol and more. 

Visitors camp out in the stunning camp grounds, while several food stalls supply delicious sustenance and alcoholic beverages throughout the event. Rock am Ring will be open to kids 8 to 14 years old only if accompanied by a parent or guardian. For kids aged 14 to 16, unaccompanied admission will be allowed if parental consent is provided.
