3 Night Festival
The Rock am Ring is one of the biggest festivals in Germany and one of the most famous Rock festivals in the world. Held annually for three nights in early June. The best thing about RAR is that for three nights you can enjoy incredible concerts in styles such as Rock, Alternative-rock, Punk, Punk-rock, etc. Over its 25 years it has seen the likes of Kiss, Muse, Rammstein, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Aerosmith, Linkin Park, Radiohead, Oasis, Coldplay, System of a Down and many others. It also has a huge camping area whose cost is included with the entry, but if you don't fancy camping there are also VIP areas and hotels around the concert area, although if you do want to stay in a hotel you need to book it months in advance.
There are different ways to get to Nürburgring, it all depends on where you come from. In my case, I took a flight to Düsseldorf Airport and rented a car as it is more practical and if you are a group of 4 or 5 is much cheaper than going by train. There are also special buses just for the festival, which are very well priced. What I did not like about my experience in the RAR was the rain. Go prepared for rain. It wasn't cold but bring a waterproof jacket and rain boots in the bag. I did not like that some essential services have to be paid for, eg showers were about 2 euros, the bus from the campsite the concert area was 1€, etc.. In my opinion the Rock Am Ring is already expensive enough (about 150 euros) to have to pay for showers. Another thing I dislike is that they now have too many concerts. There are three stages, so when you watch one concert you're missing two, and it is really annoying when the two groups that you like are playing at the same time. But all in all it was an incredible experience and I'd do it again every year. Very and highly recommended to those who like festivals and this style of music.
