Watch the video: “Nazis remain Nazis” – fans angry because of the controversial appearance at Rock am Ring.
Rock am Ring in criticism:
In addition to headliners such as Machine Gun Kelly and Toten Hosen, the US metal band Pantera is also scheduled to perform at the Nürburgring in June.
The band has faced allegations of racism for years.
Singer Phil Anselmo performed the Hitler salute at a concert in 2016 and shouted the neo-Nazi slogan “White Power”.
Although Anselmo apologized after the performance, the criticism of many fans remains today.
Three weeks ago, the author Jasmina Kuhnke, also known under her pseudonym “Quattromilf”, drew attention to the appearance.
She asks the other participating bands: Why do you share the stage with a racist?
The organizers of the festival, which is steeped in tradition, now want to keep Standing going.
