Rock am Ring / Rock im Park 2024

Use Booking, there's plenty of accommodation available with reasonable prices. If you wish to stay close to the festival area you may expect non refundable rates but prices are ok. E.g. I pay 150eur/night for double

Which accommodation? I've seen €360 from Thursday to the Monday but doesn't look like anywhere really close?

🥉Green Day. Still one of the best live bands, and the setlist was perfect if it’s your first show of theirs, but I was expecting full AI / Dookie playthrough (okay, AI was played in full bar one song), and sometimes there was a feeling that band didn’t know what to play next (printed setlist differed from reality). 

In fairness there was a warning that festivals would get a tweaked setlist.

 

Although saying that the two shows they did in Spain were officially festivals and got Dookie/AI in full. Though I am booked to see them in Manchester in 10 days or so and that is meant to be having the pair of them top-to-bottom.

Exactly, those Spanish shows put some hope in my heart, but it really looked like the band remembered their promise not to play full albums at festivals five minutes before the RiP show (like, for example, when Tre played drum bridge before Longview, Billie stopped him and started Welcome to Paradise, despite in the end they performed both, just in different order). Also forgot to mention they finished ten minutes earlier and cut all songs from the new album (bar American Dream) which were at printed setlist. 
The Manchester gig should be fine, I assume it will be something like the French one. 
 

@SweetJesus, just like @Ferda said I used Booking, yesterday it was lots of options, but after the festival officially announced the dates for 2025 all of them sold out. You can try this one, it’s far from city centre, but on the same train line as the festival and 10-15 minute walk from the station: https://www.booking.com/Share-cZfBNc

 

Also this year I booked a hotel a week before the festival and it costed me €85 a night for a double, the name is Niu Leo.

Mercure Messe, right next door to festival gate. Some hotels don't advertise this period on Booking but try reach out directly, worked for me almost every time. Cheers!
