Since 2004 the venue moved again to the current Zeppellinfeld, where Rock im Park was since held with the exception of the 2006 festival, which was moved to the Luitpoldhain. In 1997 Rock im Park moved to Nuremberg's Frankenstadion where it was held until the venue was unavailable in 2004 because the stadium was being renovated for the 2006 Football World Cup. For the 1994 event, Rock im Park moved to the disused Munich-Riem airport, and the following year to Munich's Olympiastadion, where it found a home for the 19 event. In 1993, Rock im Park took place for the first time in Vienna. In 1991, the festival returned with a new concept: as well as featuring well-known artists, event organizers present lesser known up-and-coming bands to the public. However, after a dip in attendance for the 1988 event, the festival was put on hiatus for two years. Rock am Ring was originally planned as a one-time festival on the Nürburgring motorsports complex, celebrating the inauguration of a newer, shorter version of the race track in 1985, but due to its commercial success (with 75,000 audience members), it was decided to make the concert an annual event.

There have been minor exceptions in the past years where an artist would be announced for one of the festivals only. All artists perform one day at the Nürburgring and another day in Nürnberg during the three-day event. Sharing nearly identical lineups, the two festivals are usually regarded as one event. While Rock am Ring takes place at the Nürburgring race track, Rock im Park takes place at the Zeppelinfeld in Nuremberg. ("Rock in the Park") festivals are two simultaneous rock music festivals held annually. ( German for "Rock at the Ring") and Script error: No such module "Lang".
