Some bands that performed this year were\u00a0 Thirty Seconds to Mars, Fettes Brot, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Bullet for My Valentine, The Prodigy, Beatsteaks, Green Day, Sportfreunde Stiller, Bad Religion&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The German band SEEED started on of the biggest Harlem Shakes ever I guess&#8230;take look:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seeed - Harlem Shake Rock am Ring 2013\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WnffUpm-wIM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The festival took place <strong>erstmals<\/strong> (for the first time) in 1985. Originally it was planned to be a one time show. But due to its big success (about 75.000 people showed up) the responsible persons decided to do it every year. In 1988 the visitor rates decreased. A two year break was the consequence.<\/p>\n<p>But in 1991 the biggest rock festival in Germany came back with a revised concept. One of the main focuses was to introduce more newcomers to the crowd. Some of the bands and artist who were <strong>unbekannt<\/strong> (unknown) by that time are bin in business nowadays. For example INXS or Alanis Morisette performed at Rock am Ring in front of a big crowd.<\/p>\n<p>In 1993 the parallel festival Rock in Vienna took place for the first time. The following year it moved to Munich (Rock in Riem) and in 1995 it finally became Rock im Park in <strong>N\u00fcrnberg<\/strong> (Nuremberg) that takes place at the same time as Rock am Ring since 1997. Normally the same bands perform at the twin festival but because of <strong>Terminschwierigkeiten<\/strong> (schedule difficulties) sometimes it happens that some bands could only be seen at one of them.<\/p>\n<p>A major <strong>Bestandteil<\/strong> (component) of the festival is camping around the festival area. But the\u00a0 character of camping at Rock am Ring has changed over the years. In the beginning only a few little <strong>Zelte<\/strong> (tents) and Vans were there. But meanwhile there are thousands of outdoor pavillons and <strong>Wohnmobile<\/strong> (Campers). Even big trucks with sofas and couches appeared.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013 a sister festival called Rock\u00b4n\u00b4Heim is going to take place for the first time from August 16th to 18th. The <strong>Besetzung<\/strong> (line up) there is fantastic as well.<\/p>\n<p>So if you missed Rock am Ring or Rock im Park, there\u00b4s still a chance to freak out in August!<\/p>\n<p>Tell me something about the festivals in your countries. Are there big ones, famous ones or good ones?
