Couldn't find an existing thread but hope anyone out there is safe and that this is a false alarm

Very sad times that we live in now terrorism is targeting entertainment events, it really sickens me and I hope everyone out in Germany is okay. Fingers crossed they can get it sorted and carry on the festival as soon as possible.

Watched live stream of some German band waiting for Liam Gallagher and some dudes came on stage and interrupted it to announce cancellation of day one. Looked surreal watching from my computer, can't imagine how people there felt

This has really got to me :-( 

After being a regular festival goer since the age of about 17, the one thing I enjoy about festivals above anything else is the sense of community and togetherness. 

I sincerely hope evacuations of these events don't become a usual occurrence.

Stay safe everyone

Is there a curse or something at Rock Am Ring ?? 

2015 -> Storm + Lightning Strikes => 33 hospitalized

2016 -> Lightning Strikes => 72 injured

2017 -> Evacuation due to terrorist threat

Sad times for organizers and RaR lovers. Hope everything will be fine today, and next years... All festival buddies and organizers have a thought for people of RaR. Keep on rockin'

Festival continues today. Police investigation showed no imminent threat. Apparently two employees of companies building the stages are or were under surveillance by German authorities and additionally their access passes to the festival grounds did not match one of their real names.

 

But yeah, unlucky festival.

Die Toten Hosen are ready to kick ass tonight !
