The Rock am Ring ((ドイツ語:Rock at the Ring)) and Rock im Park ((ドイツ語:Rock in the Park)) festivals are two simultaneous rock music festivals held annually. While ''Rock am Ring'' takes place at Mendig on an old airbase; ''Rock im Park'' takes place at the Zeppelinfeld () in Nuremberg, in the south. 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 in Nuremberg during the three-day event. There have been minor exceptions in the past years where an artist would be announced for one of the festivals only. Combined, Rock im Park and Rock am Ring are the largest music festival held in Germany and one of the largest in the world with a combined attendance of over 150,000 people in 2007, selling out both events in advance for the first time.〔Robertson, Joel (17 November 2014). (TOP 13: Rock and Metal Festivals in Europe ) ''festicket.com''. Retrieved on 18 August 2015.〕 ==History== Rock am Ring was originally planned as a one-time festival celebrating the inauguration of a newer, shorter version of the track in 1985, but due to its commercial success (with 75,000 audience members), it was decided to make the concert an annual event. However, after a dip in attendance for the 1988 event, the festival was put on hiatus for two years. In 1991, the festival returned with a new concept: as well as featuring well-known artists, event organizers present lesser known up-and-coming bands to the public. In 1993, Rock im Park took place for the first time in Vienna. For the 1994 event, Rock im Park moved to the disused Munich-Riem airport, and the following year to Munich's Olympiastadion, where it found a home for the 1995 and 1996 event. 1997 Rock im Park moved to Nuremberg's Frankenstadion where it was held until the venue was unavailable in 2004 because the stadium was being renovated for the 2006 Football World Cup. Since 2004 the venue moved again to the current Zeppellinfeld, where Rock im Park was since held with the exception of the 2006 festival, which was moved to the Luitpoldhain. The 2007 festival was used in a science experiment to test the effects of large bodies of people simultaneously jumping. The experiment data was used to calculate the result if the entire Chinese population were to jump in unison. The experiment concluded no significant results would come from the theoretical event.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=blog.sciam.com )〕 After 29 editions of Rock am Ring, the new owner of the Nürburgring decided that the contract won't be extended. The festival will be continued at another location in 2015 (Flugplatz Mendig/Vulkaneifel).〔http://www.mlk.com/news/2990〕〔(Wir sind der Ring! ) auf rock-am-ring.com〕It's widely considered to be one of the best festivals in the world.〔http://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-music-festivals-in-the-world/rockboy〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rock am Ring and Rock im Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
