I went for Klash of the Ruhrpott 2024 and the bands were amazing... Tankard, Destruction, Sodom and Kreator, all together. The scenery with the Emscher river is really nice and overall is a nice place. The many problems here are with the organization: only cash payments everywhere, expensive €4 deposit for hardcups, only one hose for water on the hot weather with very long queues and finally they cancelled the Kreator concert 1 hour before the end because of a thunderstorm warning (OK, fine, it was a great storm but we got insanely wet outside with no possibility of getting a bus - which should have been organized to Gelsenkirchen or Essen stations). If you organize festivals, rain is a thing. It can happen and you can be prepared for it. So, not appropriate for extremely hot or rainy weather.

One of the nicest venues for an outdoor concert. The location is great and good views for just about everyone. Sounds was also amazing. We were there on one of the hottest days of the year to see Nightwish and it was just a magical night.

Came from the UK for tonight's event. Missed the first act as the queues for parking were non-moving for over 30 minutes. Also found that all food and drink stalls are cash only, which was not advised in advance by venue or ticket seller. Now here all night with not even water to drink, not ideal.

Awesome location Blackfield Festival and Rock Hard

Absolutely brilliant location!!!!!
