Hansi Holz and his friends Rudi Rüttgers, Martin Marquardt, and Ralf Nitschke had the idea of setting up a festival for friends and work colleagues. In 2017, the benefit concert took place for the first time in Neurath at the Rote Asche tennis facility. At that time, it was expected with almost 150 visitors and was then literally overrun by about 500 people. Rock Sommer Nacht's first festival and immediately a complete success.
In 2023, the Rock Summer Night Helps Festival will be held at Frimmersdorf's decommissioned power plant. Not only does it guarantee an aural experience you won't forget, but every penny of its proceeds goes to those in desperate need — so why not seize this chance to enjoy some amazing music while aiding others? Some of the performers include Carloseum, Father & Son, Motorjesus, Antidepressiva, La Ultima, and Procyon! Come on down for a-rockin' good time that supports a great cause - The Rock Sommer Nacht is back with a vengeance!
