Amphitheater, Gelsenkirchen, Germany
9th - 11th May 2008
ROCK HARD FESTIVAL

The Rock Hard Festival kicked off in 2003 celebrating the magazine's 20th anniversary with BLIND GUARDIAN, ANTHRAX and NEVERMORE among the congratulators. The open air turned out as a huge success crowned with fantastic reactions - obviously, it didn't take us long to decide that the festival has to be carried on. Be part of its sixth edition taking place at the Amphitheater in Gelsenkirchen from May 9 to 11, 2008.

This year's line-up comprises Black Metal's finest IMMORTAL, Swiss avantgardists CELTIC FROST, Gothic Metal co-founders PARADISE LOST as well as Hard Rock legends Y&T. Besides combining a great variety of international bands, the festival will provide you with a unique atmosphere and fair prices. The Rock Hard Festival is located in the middle of the Ruhr district and henceforth easily accessible via car or public transport. Once you get here you can choose between partying on the campground or relaxing in one of the comfortable accommodations in and around Gelsenkirchen. You can get your 3-day ticket online for 59 euro (+advance booking fee and postage). Check out the festival website under http://www.rockhardfestival.de.
