Rock The lakes - Metal festival

In total, 25 bands were scheduled to play over the 3 days, but a few days before the festival, the band Hämatom announced that bassist West had passed away. Rock the Lakes decided not to replace the band out of respect. To pay tribute to Hämatom, Rock the Lakes broadcasted a few songs with pyrotechnic effects on stage. The weather was perfect for the whole festival, almost to hot. Therefore the shadow areas were quickly taken up. On the 2nd day of the festival, Rock The Lakes already announced a few bands for next year, with 2 headliners: Behemoth and In Extremo.

The location of the festival is exceptional. I recommend Rock The Lakes for all festival-goers who like festivals on a human scale. There’s a wide variety of metal subtypes to satisfy all tastes. I’m sure you’ll discover and love lots of bands.

See you next year!
