Location
The second British Rock Meeting was suppose to take place on Friesenheimer Island in Mannheim, Germany; however, the Mannheim city council opposed it and MAMA Concerts had to change the venue. After much searching, the concert promoters were finally able to relocate the festival to Insel Grün (Green Island) in Germersheim.
