For those who love a headbang and a mosh pit wrestle, Rock am Ring should be a favorite as it’s one of Europe’s biggest rock music festivals. Held on an old airbase in Western Germany’s Mendig, the event acts as a twin to Rock im Park in Nuremburg. That means there’s double the music and double the chance to grab a ticket. Now coming up to thirty years of rocking, Rock am Ring was originally intended to just be a one-time thing but, due to popular demand, it’s become a calendar fixture for all rock-lovers. As well as big time acts such as Iron Maiden and Metallica, the festival is known for showcasing new talent while also being used as a lab. Yes, in 1997 the festival was used to monitor the effects of large bodies all jumping at once. Who knew science could be so fun?
