On 3, 4 and 5 July 2015, thousands flocked to Roeser's Herchesfeld for the 10th anniversary of the Rock-A-Field festival.
The 2015 event demonstrated the continuing growth and expansion of the festival, with a bigger audience and even better features. Friday's performances were attended by around 10,000 people; Saturday by 12,000; and Sunday by 14;000 - reaffirming the festival's status as a Luxembourg annual must-see.
This year's festival organiser's Den Atelier showed they are still a dab hand at catering to a wide variety of music tastes, with performances from rock bands Eagles of Death Metal, Marmozets and Nothing But Thieves; indie groups such as Bastille, alt-J and Echosmith; rappers Wu-Tang Clan; electro artists Gramatik and Boys Noize; and intermittent bursts between bands of calypso and reggaeton from DJ dr.gonZo.
A circulating water spray feature provided by POST Luxembourg and water bottles tossed into the crowds by band members kept the festival-goers cool and hydrated on the hot summer days, with temperatures reaching 37°C over the weekend.
Food trucks from a variety of catering services, including Sofood, Sushi & More; The Food Truck and Guerrilla Food, were also on hand to keep the audience satisfied providing, amongst many other options, ice cream and watermelon slices to stave off the heat. Ramborn Luxembourgish cider was also available, offering a fun corn-holing competition alongside glasses of ice cold cider. Entertainment was also rife all around the festival grounds, with attendees delighting in MUDAM's beach swingset and Coca-Cola helpers initiating games such as Twister and giant table tennis.
