Germany's Rock am Ring Festival Reopens One Day After Bomb Scare

6/3/2017 by Dave Brooks

 
 

German festival Rock am Ring reopened Saturday after a bomb scare Friday night (June 2) forced the evacuation of 80,000 attendees who had stayed to watch Rammstein's headlining set at the Nürburgring race track.

The event was halted Friday after an individual "of non-German origin" whom police believed to have potential ties to terrorism was found backstage with two other individuals. After questioning the three, police learned the individual's names did not match the names on their passes, Koblenz police chief Wolfgang Fromm told a news conference according to ABC News.
