Since its beginning in 1999, the festival developed into a quality event for live rock music. Once started as a local festival, Rocco del Schlacko is meanwhile an essential part of the German live music business. Rocco del Schlacko grew so much that the festival had to move two times until a suitable capacity for about 17.000 festivalgoers and campers a day could be provided. The green location Sauwasen, once meant to be the range land for pig farmers, is surrounded by tall, shady trees which gives the festival an idyllic ambiance.
