"headliner: Machine Head, Motörhead, Saxon, Heaven and Hell, In Flames & Running Wild. no greater BM bands this year." Email by Kai

So, since it was very annoying with all the (partly justified)whining about the lack of "harder" stuff, I asked Kai is they are going to order at least "smaller" Bands of that kind.


His reply:
"ja, "kleinere" bands dieses genres werden noch veröffentlicht!"

In english:
"yes, "smaller" bands of this genere will be announced!"

So, calm down now and face the facts!
1. You are not forced to visit the festival.
2. Wacken was never a Black/Thrash festival.
3. There are enough open slots.
4. "Smaller" die-hard Bands will be announced.
5. Wacken is about far more than the bands.

So, wait until the running order. The Line-Up can still contain a good mix!

EDIT: This regards to Black/Thrash/Death

Good News. But I still cannot believe the give headliner slots to bands like Machine Head and Saxon, but not to a top-class act like Amon Amarth.

Ok, he told about Black Metal. That has nothing to do with Death Metal and Thrash Metal...some slots for Bands like Kreator oder Cannibals Corpse (to name just 2 "greater" acts of these styles) are still left. I'm pretty sure that 1 or 2 acceptable bands will be there.

Es gibt kaum richtig großen BM Bands oder ? *freu*

There are only little really big black metal bands ? Right

 

[guardian of asgaard]

[Nightmare666]

genau...also bestehen noch hoffnungen...vllt so was wie satyricon,1349,Marduk

Wenn Marduk nicht groß sind was ist dann groß ? Nur weil Immortal und Dimmu Borgir dieses Jahr nicht kommen ?

 

[guardian of asgaard]

ach satyricon is doch nur sonne kleine dorfband

 

[Flecha]

Das schließt Dimmu Borgir und Cradle of Filth ja nicht zwingend aus.

You mean, no hard stuff this year? Come on...or are you one of these haters that say "Wacken has never been a thing with hard stuff"?

Nonono...Wacken and extreme Metal? Neeever seen there!!!
