Rock am Ring ist ein Musikfestival auf dem Nürburgring in der Nähe des Ortes Adenau in der Eifel. Es wurde erstmalig im Jahr 1985 veranstaltet. Die Veranstaltung war ursprünglich als ein einmaliges Event geplant. Aufgrund des großen Erfolges (75.000 Zuschauer) entschloss man sich jedoch, diese Veranstaltung jedes Jahr stattfinden zu lassen. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Am_Ring
The Rock am Ring (Rock at the Ring) and Rock im Park festivals are two simultaneous rock music festivals held annually in Germany. While Rock am Ring takes place at the Nürburgring racetrack in the west of Germany, Rock im Park takes place in and around the Frankenstadion in Nürnberg, in the south east of Germany.
Both festivals are usually regarded one event with an identical Lineup for both festivals. All artists perform one day at Nürburgring and another day at Nürnberg during the three day event. The split locations serve to minimize the distance and therefore maximize the audience.
Rock im Park and Rock am Ring are together the largest music festival in Germany and one of the largest in the world with a combined attendance of 150,000 people in 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Am_Ring

Oxegen is an annual music festival, held since 2004, sponsored by Heineken International. It was previously called Witnness, which ran from the year 2000 and was sponsored by Guinness. Oxegen was originally a two-day festival but for 2008 will be expanded to three days. It takes place at the Punchestown Racecourse in County Kildare, Republic of Ireland and has an average attendance of around 80,000 a day, with around half of these camping on site for the duration, and the rest travelling to the site each day. The festival is promoted by MCD.
While Oxegen has not yet reached the iconic status of Glastonbury, it still manages to attract a large quantity of high profile acts each year. Generally, the festival's line-up is identical to that of T in the Park, which runs on the same weekend, but in Scotland. Many acts play Oxegen on the day that they're not playing TitP. As well as six stages of music, there are two large areas for camping which are subdivided by number. Stalls and shops are also provided, as well as toilet and shower areas (from 2006). The toilet facilities have been criticised by some as not being adequate for the large number of people at the festival. There is also a funfair adjacent to the arena, featuring a big wheel and other rides, such as the "Magic Carpet", the "Big Drop", and the roller coaster.
