The basics
For 30 years, Germany has held one of the biggest rock and metal festivals in the world. Holding two annual days – Rock am Ring and Rock im Park – full of mayhem. One's held at the Nürburgring in Nürburg (at least it was until 2015 anyway) and the other in various locations.
The festival
If you're serious about metal, then we suggest either becoming a welder, or heading to Germany next summer to catch the biggest artists flailing about on stage at Rock am Ring.
Unfortunately, after three decades of holding the festival at the Nürburgring racetrack, the festival has been forced to move, this time laying its giant metal boot in the Mendig airfield in the Eifel mountains (obviously).
Either way, they're still packing an awesome lineup in, and besides, there's less chance of getting hit by a speeding racecar this year. More chance of getting hit by a plane, but swings and roundabouts, innit.
Our tip
Be sure to try a Currywurst whilst you're there. It's a big sausage covered in curry sauce and IT'S BETTER THAN EVERYTHING.
