About the Show

Rock am Ring (Rock in the Ring) and Rock im Park (Rock in the Park) are two simultaneous rock music festivals held annually in Germany and broadcast live on MTV.

While Rock am Ring takes place at the Nürburgring racetrack in the west of Germany, Rock im Park takes place in and around the Frankenstadion in Nürnberg, in the south east of Germany.

Both festivals are usually regarded as one event with a mostly identical lineup for both festivals. All artists perform one day at Nürburgring and another day at Nürnberg during the three day event.

Together Rock im Park and Rock am Ring are the largest music festivals in Germany and one of the largest in the world with a combined attendance of just over 150,000 people in 2007, selling out both events in advance for the first time.

The 2008 Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals were broadcast live in South Africa for two hours on DStv's MTV channel on Saturday 7 June 2008, from 20h00-22h00.

A half-hour edit of the two concerts aired on DStv's MTVbase channel on Wednesday 10 September 2008, at 22h30.
