Does anyone have experiences with other German festivals like Summer breeze and Bang your head? How was that and what are your comments about them when they're compared to Wacken this year?

I really like Full Force and Summer Breeze.
Full Force has grown, but is still very comfortable for the festival-goer. The two stages are very close, beer prices are O.K., Sound is better compared to the other festivals. Nearly no true metal, but lots of good Death, Black, Thrash, Hardcorure, Punk, you get to see quite a lot of legends. Nu Metal is accepted, people generally get along very good, the east german rock fans are a good crowd and great hosts. Not as many people speak english, but the festival has become quite international over the years. An awful lot of Skandinavians are there, maybe because of the Knüppelnacht. They have like different theme nights, and Friday night is reserved for Death and Black Metal. Awesome! This year Behemoth, Grave, Lock Up, Marduk, Kataklysm and Impaled Nazarene murdered the audience, but the line-up is always state-of-the-art.
Summer Breeze is lovely. Last year it was still one-stage, this year it seems that it will grow quite a bit. But still, the feeling is very underground, with the security being rock and metal fans (please, don't ever hire professionals - I never felt safer during a concert), and good vibes in general. Also, a wonderful audience - if you're unknown but good they don't care and make you a headliner. Very bad for big bands who have a shitty day, the audience will just go away. I loved this! Music-wise they take a different approach still, this is a METAL festival - but all kinds, be it new, true, blue, shoe, death, black, gothic, thrash or even good old rock'n roll. But no punkrock there. Still, very cool festival, will probably be HUGE next year as they are moving to a bigger, more festival-orientated site. What sucks is that the tents are 2,5 km away, and you get the usual shuttle-fuck-up and drunk driving. Still, I'm gonna have a great time next year.

Despite some of the negative things about Wacken this year I had a very good time. Looking forward to Summer Breeze...
Is there any web site available that have links to europe metal festivals??
Never even heard about summer breeze until this year when I went to Wacken...

I totally agree with Shukri on all points too. Our view was blocked by camera men at which was a real shame.
I also wonder why they can't put some big plastic rubbish bins here and there? I don't know if I'm missing a reason but it might help a bit, I know i'd use them.

They could do that and ofcourse people will use it but you also have the chance that some idiots will put such things on fire or something.
But it was indeed something I also was thinking about.
In general I haven't much complains about this years festival, only the high food and drink prices, free water against the heat and no more cash dispensers.
They do had more shower camps but I think they shared the water things outside over the shower camps so There were less of those things at each shower camp... And the water was not quite drinkable....
hmmm, still some complains...but hey...I am human...
Guess there is always something not perfect but this year was still great I think!
