Rock Hard Festival 2023

ROCK HARD FESTIVAL started out in 2003 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the legendary German „megazine“ ROCK HARD. It was pretty clear from the beginning that ROCK HARD FESTIVAL would be different: a fan-friedly event in a classic amphitheatre setting, open to a variety of metal and hard rock tastes and appealing to all generations of fans. The whole thing is dedicated to music and music only. This is what a Dutch promoter had to say after his first Rock Hard experience: »I never saw such an audience – everybody in this round must possess a HUGE record collection!« The overwhelming atmosphere and community feel is often praised in comments of visitors and artists alike. It´s a place to meet and celebrate!

ROCK HARD FESTIVAL has only one (!) stage, a beer garden (of course), a metal market, metal disco, an autograph booth and a merch & food street, but NO amusement-park-type side attractions such as bungee jumping, viking villages, car exhibitions etc… Instead, ticket, food and drink prices remain as low as possible. The capacity is strictly limited to 6.500 visitors.
