Watch Rock im Park 2014 liveshows through internet webstream

The little twin of the well know Rock Am Ring Festival kicks off today, one day after the big brother started last night. This festival features mostly the same bands as the bigger one just with a little time gap in between.

The best of all: you can be there also if you don't have a ticket to the show. Just go to the internet livestream that is directly provided through the official homepage of the festival.

For a detailed list of bands and stage time please check in at the schedule on the proper subpage of the event. Have a good time everybody! :-)

Rock am Ring 2014 stream will broadcast many shows online

Wow, this is going to be a massive weekend! Just found out that this year happily once more a live stream featuring a lot of the bands playing at Rock am Ring 2014 has been set up for all those who cannot be there.

You can find the stream as well as all updated info on bands and broadcasting times at this location.

Update 2014/06/05
If you're having problems with the stream like I had this evening (but happily found this alternative plus legal site) just go over to this place, hope it works like it did for me. Maiden was great, enjoyed the title-track from Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son so much. Added Metallica since they are set up for streaming on Sunday, hope it will stay this way. (all bands/times are subject to change as the owners of the stream wrote on their site)

As for now the timetable lists the following bands along with times (only internet livestream bands are listed, there is more stuff that is broadcasted through a german TV channel called Eins Plus that can be found at this point .)
