Germany, Wacken - Wacken Open Air 2010




Wacken Open Air 2009 was a huge disappointment for many metal fans. In 2008 the world's biggest heavy metal festival has booked Iron Maiden as headliners and has raised the bar a bit too high for its own good. In 2009, the 20th anniversary of this legendary festival, a lot of bands appeared which have played in the years before already, but no uber headliner a la Iron Maiden to justify the high ticket price. Many people blamed the W:O:A to rely on its name only as the 20th edition was sold out eight months prior to the festival. In 2010 however the Wacken Open Air proves all these critics wrong...

Iron Maiden are back again! And this time they aren't the uber headliners of 2008, but only primus inter pares ("first among equals"): thrash titans Slayer, glam metal monsters Mötley Crüe and the father of shock rock Alice Cooper are also confirmed as headliners for the 21st edition. And as always there are a few special performances: Grave Digger celebrate their 30th anniversary by performing the entire "Tunes of War" album, a show which will also feature some special guests, while Swedish gothic metal pioneers Tiamat will be performing their legendary "Wildhoney" album, 20 years after the band Treblinka mutated into the Tiamat we know today. But even if you don't care for either of these bands, Wacken once again offers a wide array of metal styles for almost everyone: black metal with Immortal and 1349, death metal with Cannibal Corpse and grindcore supergroup Lock Up, power metal with Kamelot and Stratovarius, heavy metal with U.D.O. and W.A.S.P., modern metal with Fear Factory and Soulfly, etc. etc. etc.. All in all a whopping 122 acts will perform on five stages over a period of four days.

Wacken Open Air takes plays in - surprise! - Wacken in Northern Germany, a small village with merely 2,000 inhabitants on 361 days of the year. The town is located 10 km north of Itzehoe and 50 km northwest of Hamburg. There will be shuttle buses from the festival site to the train station in Itzehoe as well as to the airports in Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen and Lübeck. For more info on getting there and away check the festival page here.

Certainly not the cheapest, but probably the most fun way to get to and from Wacken has to be the Metal Train. The "railway to hell" equals one huge party of 850 metalheads in one train with 16 wagons, which includes two dedicated disco wagons. Check the website for the schedule and prices.

The festival is officially sold out since April. Most tour operators (e.g. Metal Train for Germany, Bock Tours for the Netherlands, Germany, Austria or Switzerland, Argon Events for the UK) still have tickets in stock though.

Another way to acquire your ticket would be the ticket exchange in the official forum which aims for eliminating the black marketing going on eBay and reducing the risk of acquiring fake tickets. In this exchange the Wacken staff supervises the ticket prices and acts as trust which means that the seller sends the ticket(s) to the staff who verifies the authenticity of the ticket(s) and reports it to the buyer. After the buyer has transferred the money to the seller, the Wacken staff will pass on the ticket(s) to the buyer. More information on this model can be found here (in German).

Btw, it seems like Immortal is the first band to be confirmed for every festival
They were announced as being confirmed for Hellfest 2010 during Hellfest 2009 as well.

And one of those is mine.
Although before the WOA 2009 I really had doubts as to how much I would actually enjoy the festival, it turned out to be just really great. Even though the lineup was nothing close to what other festivals had to offer this year. Only thing that keeps bothering me is the invasion of metalcore kids (let's call them that) who bring a certain aggression with them. You should really have come, Cathedral played a really enjoyable set

I saw Cathedral play absolutely brilliantly at Roadburn last April which was reason for me not to wacth them at Hellest
And Wacken is way way way too big for me to enjoy. Hellfest is about the maximum number of people I can handle with 20,000 max a day.

Yeah, the size of the thing starts to bother me too. This year it was already close to impossible to watch any band sittingly. But how could anyone say no to a festival that is so close one could spit there if the wind was good. Their forums (the german one although) is full of complaints about a great many aspect of this year's WOA. I sincerely hope they act on at least a few of those. Let's see.

Are you kidding? Reserved campground with about 300 people each year. Since they moved the R campground to the side of the camp area there's about zero traffic there so apart from loud neighbors the whole thing is as peaceful as can be. Even the Romanian thief gangs didn't visit us. And we had a few cars open all the time with equipment from amplifierst to laptops, external drives and mobile phones in them.

the showers IMO were ok, if you were a little careful you could have got out without getting too dirty, all in all not a low point of the festival for me..

Get out of the shower or onto the festival ground without getting dirty? Because on the first day the shower water was more rust than it was clean water. But that must only have been the pipes that haven't been used for a year. At least it improved the next few days. And I do make it a point to shower every morning. After you've gotten used to that you don't feel too comfortable without it anymore.

The showers IMO were ok, if you were a little careful you could have got out without getting too dirty, all in all not a low point of the festival for me..


And surely your high point was your first taste of Jager! There are photos on Leckie's Facebook page of you drinking!

hahahahaha those photos are hilarious, and Jagermeister is awesome(not a very popular drink here and that's why i didn't try it, most people drink romanian wines/beers or homemade wine or plum brandy which will get you instantly shitfaced if you're not careful and is not at all expensive lol, sure some guys have refined tastes and stuff, but jager is so unknown here that only a few weeks ago i could have gotten one in a Carrefour hypermarket)

and i'm sorry to disappoint you but my festival all-time high point was Saxon

Amon Amarth's show, raising 19 euros by scavenging beer glasses and my first sip of Jagermeister come close but not by much

ahem.. not every country is called Holland lol

it's pretty much like Heineken being a deluxe drink in Uganda

bottom line is, there isn't a huge market for "fancy" and imported drinks

Oh, you mean "imported" and therefore more expensive than local drinks. Imo drinking Romanian wines is much more refined than drinking something as vile (yet can be nice too ) as Jägermeister.

You're talking about Tuica, I suppose? That stuff is awesome! Past weekend I offfered a Romanian guy a ride to Summer Breeze Festival and he brought me a bottle of Tuica in return. Holy moly, I've never drunk anything that gets you hammered that fast! The alcohol doesn't even reach your esophagus as it goes straight to the brain! Just in case we should meet again at next year's Wacken, please do me a favor and bring a bottle of that stuff along, will ya?

lol i'll try and bring some(though like i said most are homemade and are really different, some might taste good others bad), if he brought it in a plastic coca cola bottle or something it was definitely home-brewed...

i'll trade you a 1 l bottle of Tuica for 1 l of Jagermeister hehhehe

I really would like to taste that Jagermeister. I think it would be better that the shit we call "beer" here at my country.

I think that if i lived around the corner I would go as well cause that would mean I could sleep at home and not at an annoying camping

Are you kidding? Reserved campground with about 300 people each year. Since they moved the R campground to the side of the camp area there's about zero traffic there so apart from loud neighbors the whole thing is as peaceful as can be. Even the Romanian thief gangs didn't visit us. And we had a few cars open all the time with equipment from amplifierst to laptops, external drives and mobile phones in them.


Romanian gang eh. hmm.
That somehow rings a bell.

Im not surprised they didn't come though, beeing cought stealing from a metalhead will most likely get half the festival on your ass. And thats a lot of people. lol
And i wish it to them aswell. I used to not be afraid at all to leave everything from my clothes to my 1000 euro camera in my tent. This year is the first year i left the thing at home to begin with. Because of all the warnings about these a-holes.

As did two ones on WOA this year. Those guys weren't only pickpocketing, they cut through tents and stole purses, cameras and other valuable stuff.
But they were caught in the end.
