Linkin Park will not play at Rock am Ring

Fans have been speculating until now about whether Linkin Park will perform at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park next year. Firstly, there are two secret headliners at the twin festivals that will only be revealed when they go on the open air stage. Secondly, drummer Colin Brittain announced in a question and answer session that the band will play at German festivals in 2025.As eventimpresents and PRK DreamHaus managing director Matt Schwarz made clear in an interview with MoreCore , the dream of Mike Shinoda and Co. playing at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in 2025 will not come true. "Linkin Park will not be performing with us next year ," Schwarz says. "Of course we would have really liked that and we tried everything to convince the band to do it, but it takes two to tango. I have been closely associated with the band for many years and have organized numerous tours by Linkin Park, Fort Minor and Dead By Sunrise in the past .

Lucrative stadium tour

Germany is an absolutely key market for the band, if not their most important market worldwide. We presented the festival offers to them personally in Los Angeles, but the band strategically decided against a festival tour in Germany and instead went for their own stadium tour, which they sold out immediately after advance sales began. We are very happy about their success." This is due, among other things, to the fact that you can earn more money with your own stadium tour than with festival shows.\

"Nevertheless, there are always acts that turn down even financially attractive festival offers because, as in the case of Linkin Park, they would rather play their own shows or not perform at all ," says Schwarz.  "Ultimately, the artists themselves decide whether, when and where they perform. Negotiations for festival bookings can drag on for weeks or even months. Once the basic availability of a band has been clarified, we prepare detailed offers for the management and agencies.competitive situation

These include not only the fee, but also many other parameters: from broadcasting rights to production details such as stage dimensions, sound, light and video configurations to the band's placement in the festival artwork and of course running order and slot. However, especially in the area of ​​headliner bookings, it has become much more difficult to attract the big names to festivals. The drastic increase in ticket prices for your own tours combined with dynamic pricing has reduced the attractiveness of festival fees.

The rule of thumb used to be that bands could earn twice as much at festival shows as they did at their own concerts. But with ticket prices of up to several hundred euros for individual shows, this is no longer the case, which makes negotiations more difficult and significantly increases the competition between festivals and solo tours."
