Rock Am Ring Germany Will Be Livestreamed
Through a partnership with RTL+, the on-demand streaming channel of Bertelsmann’s RTL Group, CTS Eventim will stream Germany’s legendary Rock am Ring festival, June 3-5.
The stream will be free of charge and unrestricted via the RTL+ web browser. RTL+ premium subscribers can also watch Green Day, Muse, and Volbeat headline Rock Am Ring on their app.
Other confirmed acts for Rock am Ring 2022, which returns after a forced two-hear break, include Placebo, Måneskin, Pollstar cover star Marteria, Beatsteaks, Jan Delay & Disko No. 1, The Offspring, Korn, Deftones, Scooter, and more. Around 70 acts are expected at the festival on its traditional first weekend of June.
Tens of thousands of music fans have been coming to the world-famous Nürburgring racing track since 1985, when Rock am Ring was founded. The offshoot Rock im Park was added in 1997.
Over the decades, top acts such as David Bowie, The Bangles, Alanis Morissette, The Fugees, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Metallica and Die Toten Hosen have played there.
The partnership with RTL+ was established by Eventim Brand Connect, which will also produce the livestream.
