Security precautions and arrival
The journey will require a high level of organization and security, particularly in view of incidents that have occurred in the recent past. A majority rejection of right-wing extremist forces has been expressed in the region. This could indicate the increasing awareness of the security situation and the desire of the organizers to ensure a peaceful environment for all their guests, which is also central to the event.
A tragic incident in the Westerwald that recently became known has once again fueled the discussion about security measures at major events. Rock am Ring officials have announced that they will carry out increased security checks and take a variety of measures to ensure the safety of festival visitors.
The anticipation for Rock am Ring continues unabated as the final preparations are being made. The festival not only offers first-class music, but also a platform for a shared experience without prejudice. The organizers are doing everything they can to make it an unforgettable weekend.
