Hundreds of rock and jazz bands have performed on Rockpalast. Some acts were recorded for broadcast and for retail sale. All-night marathon shows called “Rock Night” (Rocknacht) were produced once or twice a year from 1977 through 1986 and simulcast throughout Europe via the Eurovision network of TV broadcasters.Rockpalast is involved in several German pop, rock and underground music festivals, once sponsoring Bizarre Festival.

The founder and long-time producer of Rockpalast is Peter Rüchel.

Not all of these acts were recorded and broadcast. A list of the recorded gigs is readable on the Rockpalast homepage.
