Let's Rock Out at Rock am Ring with Kontra K, Rise Against, and Slipknot!
Festival rumbles on with Slipknot and Rise Against headlining - Concert Series Persists with Slipknot and Rise Against Remaining Acts
Hey there, festival fanatics! This year's Rock am Ring is bringing the heat with some killer performances on its second day. Get ready to mosh your worries away to bands like Rise Against, Slipknot, and the dynamic rapper Kontra K!
The fun starts with the Cologne-based emo-pop band Still Talk, taking the stage at 14:55, to set the tone for the rest of the day. But keep an eye on the skies, as the weather could get a little wild in the Eifel region—the German Weather Service is predicting a showery day with the possibility of isolated thunderstorms and local heavy rain in Rhineland-Palatinate.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the festival, and it's no joke! A whopping 100 acts will be rocking out on four stages throughout the weekend. And it's not just Rock am Ring—the twin festival Rock im Park is also taking place in Nuremberg, making for one unforgettable weekend of music!
While we can't confirm if Rise Against or Kontra K were originally scheduled to play as headliners or main stage acts for 2021, we can tell you that Slipknot certainly made an appearance in subsequent years (like 2025)! If you're curious about the intended 2021 lineup before the cancellation, some of the top billed acts included Green Day, System of a Down, and Volbeat. Other notable artists like Schmutzki, Boys Noize, Weezer, Yungblud, RIN, and Airbourne were also set to perform, but remember, the exact lineup can vary each year due to cancellations related to events like rescheduling caused by COVID-19.
So sweat it out, rock on, and let the tunes carry you away as you celebrate another year of music at Rock am Ring!
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the community policy and employment policy of the festival venue, as it's important to enjoy the entertainment responsibly. During the Rock am Ring festival, there might be unexpected changes in the music scheduling due to weather-related issues, such as isolated thunderstorms or local heavy rain in Rhineland-Palatinate.
