À propos de Wacken :
Wacken Open Air (W:O:A) est un festival plein-air d’été de musique Heavy Métal. Le festival se déroule à chaque année dans la petite ville de Wacken en Schleswig-Holstein, dans le nord de l’Allemagne. En 2011, Wacken a accueilli 80,000 visiteurs, ainsi que 6,000 travailleurs et gens de l’industrie. Ce festival attire tout genre de fanatiques de musique Métal incluant les amateurs de ‘Black Métal’, ‘Death Métal’, ‘Power Métal’, ‘Thrash Métal’, ‘Gothic Métal’, ‘Folk Métal’, ‘Metalcore’, ‘Nu Métal’, et ‘Hard Rock’ de partout au monde.
C’est en 1990, avec un petit événement organisé pour des groupes locaux de musique Métal, que le festival Wacken a vu le jour. Dès 1998, l’événement était dèjà devenu le premier festival Métal du calendrier Européen avec plus de 70 groupes provenant d’Europe, d’Amérique du Nord, et d’Australie. W:O:A a habituellement lieu au début du mois d’août et dure trois jours. Les festivaliers s’installent sur plusieurs immenses sites de camping qui entourent les sites de l’événement. Il y a plus de 70 groupes qui performent sur quatre uniques scènes tout au long de l’événement.
Depuis 2002, le groupe local de pompiers volontaires ‘the Wacken Firefighters’ ouvre officiellement le festival.
L’édition 2009 a brisé des records de ventes; les 70,000 billets ont tous été vendus 200 jours avant le début du festival. Toutefois, l’édition 2012 a brisé ce dernier record en vendant 75,000 billets huit mois d’avance. Cette dernière édition de W:O:A nous a présenté 137 groupes qui ont performé sur sept différentes scènes.
