    Kings of Leon lead the first acts announced for next summer's Rock am Ring in Germany.


    Kings of Leon join the first acts confirmed as Beatsteaks, Volbeat, Mando Diao, and In Flames.

    Tickets go on sale on the 29th November priced at 150 euro (approx £128).

    Rock am Ring takes place over 3 days from Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th June 2011, and showcases acts from the international live music scene at the Nurburgring in the Eifel mountains.

    Wonder will it be 4 days of Music like last year?

    The only reason i would travel for this is if Metallica or Avenged Sevenfold get announced for it, dont't have the cash to be going to a festival were I am not mad about the bands playing it =/

    Don't think Metallica will be doing regular festivals next year, but I'm fairly sure Avenged Sevenfold will be showing up. They've actually confirmed they'll see Stone Sour more in Europe next summer!

    KOL playing? Well that's me not going...
    Last year (Well, technically this year) had an amazing lineup that I doubt will be outdone. (Sucks I didn't get to go. :'( )

    KOL will sadly be everywhere next summer. Unless you wish to go to Oxegen :)

    Horribly enough I won't put it past MCD to get them to headline:eek:

    Was sying to gf that luckily the one year I won't go too far afield for festival is the one they'll play a lot:)

    I doubt it, was probably just a once off for the anniversary. KOL being announced is a bit strange, not enough to put me off it though, there's usually one headline you've no interest in.

    Any idea how long the lower price ticket sale will last?

    Great festival, definitely hope to be going back next year.

    Coldplay 2nd Headliner , as much as like Coldplay but looks like there going down the Indie kinda headliners this year


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,854 ✭✭✭Beekay


    Awful decision...after three great years at the fest I think I'm gonna be going to a different fest in the summer!

    are KOL and Coldplay def announced as headliners? :eek:
    that's really dodgy
    would love if someone like deftones announced.


  • Registered Users Posts: 100 ✭✭ehealo


    I think you can add Alter Bridge to the line up!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,934 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla

    Would slash me wrists having to listen to them 2

    very disappointed so far :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    disappointed too :(

    after ratm, muse, rammstein, kiss headlining last year, what are the organisers thinking, seriously. There are always the odd indie acts at it but on the smaller stages and def not headlining, ugh I think I'll be looking up what other festivals are worth going to.

    when does wacken be on, this is annoying really wanted to go to this. had d'money ready :mad:


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 14,953 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Im prob gonna head to Lowlands anyways next year and maybe Download or IOW


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    5-7 of august, or graspop is on 24-26 June, loads of better festivals to choose from across europe if RIP isn't living up to the standards this year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,854 ✭✭✭Beekay


    Also is this Volbeats third year in a row? I know they are getting bigger but that's very lazy of RAR/RIP!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,778 ✭✭✭Pauleta


    Im planning to go to Download next summer but if the line up is bad (which i suspect it will be) i was gonna to head to this. I wouldnt change my remote control to see the KOL and Coldplay. It was a real tempter before the acts were announced :(

    The ones that are red you can click on and just get a basic profile of the act, the grey ones have no info page.
