Fields of Rock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fields Of Rock is a Dutch rock music festival. It was first conceived in 2002. Metallica's agent called, announcing that the band was planning to tour the Netherlands, and Metallica wanted to do a festival. At that point in time there really wasn't a suitable festival. And so Fields Of Rock was created. The location selected was De Goffert Park in Nijmegen.
The first festival in 2003 was an enormous success with Marilyn Manson, Slayer, Metallica and 41,000 visitors. In 2004 there was no Fields of Rock because there wasn't as many hard rock groups on tour. The entrance fee is high because Fields Of Rock is an expensive production, with a total of four stages, of which two main stages, twenty bands, including well known international, national, and local metal.
Fields of Rock 2007 will take place June 16th - June 17th. The following bands have been confirmed to attend: Aiden, Black Label Society, Buckcherry, Delain, DevilDriver, DragonForce, Dream Theater, Heaven and Hell, Ill Niño, Iron Maiden, Korn, Life of Agony, Machine Head, Megadeth, Motörhead, Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Type O Negative and Velvet Revolver.
