What began on 9 April 2016 as a one-day event in a marquee in the heart of the Motorsportarena, featuring four bands, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year with no fewer than 21 bands over three days.
The year is almost two months old and time is flying by. 28 February is finally here: the Rock & Metal Day's Warm-Up Party is taking place at the clubhouse of the organising association, M.A.DE. for Kids e. V. Many guests have 'threatened' to come, so it won't just be club members there — one could truly say that this is a very well-attended event. Two excellent bands will perform live: Tinnitus Attavk and Blessed Child.
There is only one festival embedded in such a wonderful, picturesque landscape as the Rock Harz Festival from 6th to 9th July, one day longer than usual as a bit of a compensation. With its up to 22,000 visitors it is a middle sized festival nearby the town of Ballenstedt. Let’s see how everything worked out this year because it is a constantly growing festival.
There are a lot of festivals in summer. Some are rainy. Some are sunny. Some are hot and dry, some are cold and wet. However, there is only one festival embedded in such a wonderful, picturesque landscape as the Rockharz Festival.
