Hello Fellow Metalheads,

I am a W.O.A. first timer. I do not know the geography of the stages and I would like to know how easy it is to get from one stage to another if the bands I would like to watch play in a very tight order.

I.e. Behemoth will play @ Harder @ 18:45-20:00 and Belphegor will play @ W.E.T. @ 20:20-21:05. Then Watain will play @ Headbanger @ 21:15. Is it realistic to watch all three? Thanks.

Yes. The three main stages Harder, Faster and Louder are next to each other. Even if it is very crowded switching takes only a few minutes between these. The Bullhead tent with WET and Headbanger, both right next to each other, is a bit further away. Annoyingly (but geographically unavoidably), you have to leave the infield through an exit, walk through a somewhat narrow passage to the Wackinger market, cross it and re-enter the Bullhead tent area through a ribbon check point. But the distance is not too far, 20 min between Behemoth and Belphegor is well doable if you don't get distracted on the way. Switching from Belphegor to Watain is then just a matter of turning your head if you stand right.

Thanks a lot. And one more... are you allowed to enter the stages area with wristbands and chains on the pants?

Spike wristbands aren't allowed as far as I know. But I believe you are allowed to wear a wallet chain.

Also, there will be a map of the festival area somewhere in the coming weeks.
