I won't say this is a bad lineup. And it isn't a cheap lineup either, i suppose. And it mostly IS a Metal lineup. Everbody's been talking about last years Graspop, and now look wath THEY did for this year. THAT is a commercial, Nu/Pop-Metal thing.
Nevertheless, I personnally am a bit disappointed, if you look at my signature, I've got some suggestions, most of them would be possible, but very few around yet.
I think the main problem is that we all 've been expecting a faster annoucing of bands. Many of us expected Metallica or another huge headliner to be announced soon. Or we expected the promised Best-Of lineup, which did not really come either. Some of us still miss the very extremes, I personally don't care about that that much, but I can't imagine there not beiing at least one big band for each death and black metal. It just CAN'T be..
The point is, they don't had to mind about the ticket sales going to slow. Speeding it up any further would have cost them a lot of credibility and I hope they noticed that.. yeah I still hope.. they must think something about announcing bands only one by one and many obscure bands at first.. I don't think it will turn out a bad line-up in the end. Sure, it depends on personel taste , I see a lot of my wishes will stay unfullfilled, but that doesen't mean it's a bad lineup.
Well, we can only be patient. Going into rage now isn't good for anything..

Well, I kinda understand the main reason for this topic. And I agree with it in part but I also have to disagree.
For instance, we can't say that there aren't big bands in the bill, aswell as good ones. We have Amon Amarth, Heaven & Hell, Machine Head, Motörhead, Napalm Death and Testament, bands that are 'big' in the metal scene.
On the other hand, when we compare this lineup with other years we see it is short for this time of season (globaly), and very short in a lot genres! Just as an example, I will list the first bands of two Spannish Metal Festivals.
Lorca Rock Festival, Spain - July 24/25
Akercocke
Arch Enemy
Carcass
Dark Funeral
Evile
Marduk
Meshuggah
Municipal Waste
Obituary
Pestilance
Metalway Festival, Spain - June 21/22 & June 26/27
Amon Amarth
Blind Guardian
Dark Tranquillity
Destruction
Epica
Europe
Heaven & Hell
Immortal
Manowar
Moonspell
Motörhead
Primal Fear
Stratovarius
Tesla
First of all, I think everyone agrees that both of them have superb line-ups, with renown bands in most metal sub-genres and even some hard-rock. One could expect them to have three or four big names and then some underground bands but no, they have awesome line-ups.
Second, these are small Fest and can't be compared to Wacken in any way. Not in size, not in budget, not in attendance. However, like i said in the first point, they have great line-ups.
Third, these are the kind of 'big' bands I think everyone is expecting for Wacken. Well, at least I would like to see them all in Wacken with one or two exceptions.
Bottom line, I understand the critics, after all we'll spend great deal of cash to go there and expect no less than a great line-up...

If you are hard rock and heavy metal fan - yes. But no death metal, no black, no good trash besides Testament.

Whiplash is an awesome thrash-band, too.
I'm not a real fan of Death-, or black metal, but I see, you're right, there are not enough bands for it.
But how many bands are still missing?? 30? 40?
(Sorry, I know my english is bad
