Metallica, Tenacious D, Skrillex, Keane (Fri); The Offspring, Dropkick Murphys, Tinie Tempah, Example, Azealia Banks (Sat); Linkin Park, Soundgarden, Gossip, Motorhead, Marilyn Manson (Sun). Sister festivals Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring are pretty much the Reading and Leeds of Germany and are so popular they've already sold out. Expect this stadium-based leg to offer up its headline spots as lambs to the sacrifical altar of hoary rock gods, with Lemmy and co, squabbling metal megaliths Metallica, ageing painted goth Manson, and cali-punkers The Offspring alongside a day of younger MCs like Tempah and Banks.
