Rock im Park on the site of the Zeppelin Field, with the old grandstands in the back

Zeppelinfeld in German, or Zeppelin Field in English, is a deployment area, and part of the former Nazi party rally ground (Reichsparteitagsgelände), covering around 11 square kilometers, located in Nuremberg, in Germany. The site held six Nazi party raliles between 1933 and 1938. The Zeppelin Field consists of two grandstands, designed by Albert Speer and has been under monument protection since 1973, as one of the significant examples of NS architecture.

The site of the Zeppelinfeld has, together with the rest of the rally ground, hosted the annual Norisring Speedweekend motorsport festival, with a race track running through it. The Rock im Park festival also takes place on the grounds ever since 1997, with the first few years being at the Olympic Park in Munich (which is where its name derives from). Rock im Park is a sister festival to Rock am Ring. Ever since the first edition of the festival, it's seen acts such as Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, System of a Down, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Foo Fighters and more.

Muse have performed at the Zeppelinfeld, at the Rock im Park festival, for a total of six times, ever since 2002, performing during every album tour cycle, except of Showbiz, The 2nd Law and Drones.
