Rock am Ring festival resumes in Germany after 'terrorism' scare

One of Germany's biggest music festivals is to resume a day after the site had to be evacuated because of a "potential terrorist threat".

The organisers of Rock am Ring said intensive searches had been carried out by police and that performances would resume early on Saturday afternoon, BBC News reports.

About 90,000 people are expected to attend the event near the Nürburgring race track, which ends on Sunday.

Last month, a suicide bomb attack at a concert in Manchester killed 22 people.

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, who played his first-ever solo gig on Tuesday in aid of the victims of the attack in his native Manchester, was among the performers due to play Rock am Ring on Friday.
