Rock am Ring is the big headliner among June’s events: the mega-festival has been sold out for months. But the Green Hell has even more in store: a fascinating journey through time at the ADAC Nürburgring Classic, thrilling endurance racing action in the Green Hell, and the 10th anniversary of “GRIP – The Motor Event.” Visitors can also look forward to the Cheerleading Nationals at the ring°arena, as well as GT and touring car racing at the ADAC Racing Weekend featuring the Porsche Sports Cup.
Here are the Nürburgring highlights for June:
Linkin Park & Co. in front of 90,000 fans – and via livestream: Rock am Ring | June 5–7
Rock am Ring made history even before the first chord was struck: The 2026 edition of the legendary festival sold out faster than ever before. With 90,000 weekend tickets, fans are underscoring their enthusiasm for this time-honored music festival. Headlining acts including Linkin Park, Volbeat, Iron Maiden, and Limp Bizkit will set the stages ablaze. Those who couldn’t snag a ticket can still experience the RaR moments: Telekom is bringing the event into every living room via a free livestream on MagentaTV. It’s not just on the stages that things will be revved up this weekend: The Nordschleife tourist drives will take place as usual despite the festival. Experience has shown that the track can be reached without major traffic disruptions despite the festival.
The Best of 100 Years of Motorsports: ADAC Nürburgring Classic | June 12–14
At the ADAC Nürburgring Classic, the icons of automotive history return to the asphalt of the Grand Prix circuit and the Nordschleife. The event offers hands-on historic motorsport—from thrilling battles for position on the track to elegant classics in the paddock.

The “1st ADAC Eifel Trophy” features a new event name but retains the familiar fan-friendly concept. The ticket grants access to all open grandstands, the paddock, as well as the pit lane and the starting grid before the race. Prices remain fair and family-friendly as always: Tickets cost 25.00 euros for adults, and children up to and including 14 years of age enjoy free admission. Exclusive insights are provided by the popular RACE&LUNCH tickets (190.00 euros) or the complete VIP package for 285.00 euros, which includes first-class catering, box seats, a guided bus tour of the track, and a VIP shuttle to the Nordschleife.
