Rock the ring

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rock the ring is a three day music festival , held since 2014 annually. The venue is the Betzholz motorway roundabout near Hinwil in the Zurich Oberland , where over twenty thousand visitors arrive. Since 2018 the festival has been expanded to include the B-Stage. In 2019, Rock the Ring joined forces with the Souls of Rock Foundation to form the United Forces for Rock N'Roll . The merger gives national and international newcomers from the rock scene the opportunity to offer their band to a huge audience. The unique thing about it is that the journey is financed by the Souls of Rock Foundation and the performance by Rock the Ring.
