Rock dein Leben — the German rock festival of the Swabian Jura
Rock dein Leben was launched in 2017 and has developed into one of Southern Germany's largest German rock festivals within just a few years. The festival is organized by Rock dein Leben Festival GmbH, based in Buchen — a family business that strongly shapes the festival's character: handmade, personal, fan-oriented. The booking consistently focuses on German rock, with excursions into Schlager-rock, folk-rock'n'roll, and tribute shows. Every year, the biggest names in the German rock scene perform on the main stage.
Jakob-Laur Airfield — the stage high above the Jura
The venue is the Jakob-Laur Airfield in Laichingen, a sports airfield on the Swabian Jura at around 750 meters altitude — Westerheimerstr. 99, 89150 Laichingen, is located between Laichingen and Westerheim. During the festival days, the airfield becomes the festival grounds with a main stage, camping and motorhome pitches, a food truck mile, and service infrastructure. The capacity is around 15,000 people. The airy altitude gives the festival its special character — in clear weather, you can see far into the Danube and Fils valleys from the Jura.
Musical Direction
Rock dein Leben maintains a clear program line: German rock as a common thread, from classics like Kärbholz to younger bands like Schattenmann or Brennstoff, and the Rammstein tribute institution Stahlzeit. Folk-rock/alpine rock acts like Voxxclub expand the spectrum, along with singer-songwriter rock (Philipp Burger, JeanLuc) and harder styles (Artefuckt). This makes Rock dein Leben a must-attend event for a broad audience beyond the hard metal festivals.
Laichingen and the Alb-Donau District
Laichingen (Alb-Donau District, AGS 08425, around 12,000 inhabitants) is located on the Swabian Jura between Stuttgart and Ulm. The town is traditionally known for its weaving — and for some years now, also as a festival location. With Rock dein Leben, Laichingen has gained an annual highlight that radiates regionally: overnight stays are booked far in advance, and the entire region prepares for the festival summer.
