Is this worthy of 25 Years Wacken

[Quark]

Lemmy will be at WOA 2014, it seems. Hopefully he'll be in good shape by then.
It's always good to see Motorhead live, so for me this is good news. Thanks orga...

He apparently told everyone he'd be back next year. So.. it was to be expected. (which is conveniant for me, as I didn't go last time )

I like also this brand new announcement. Carcass is a class addition to the line-up.

And, according to Wacken-Jasper, the 24th band will be an American band with (co-)headliner aspirations!

So... what could that be!

Do you mean Machine Head?

I don't know!
The info I gave is what is known! That's it.
Which could mean it could be Machine Head.

Ia would very much like to have Manowar. But they wouldn't be co-headliners, would they?

firstly, i think you're right and manowar will only play as one-and-only-headliner.

and as far as i know, they confirmed the legacy open air as their only appearance in germany during 2014.

So Megadeth are on board. Does any of these bands we have now qualify as true headliner?

Jasper said it could be CO head or head

True Headliner as in Big Headliner? Probably not.

Let me clarify my statement. I asked if any of the bands in the line-up as of today, after the announcement of Megadeth, could deserve the status of headliner.

Jasper (the moderator who's also linked to ICS/Wacken stated: (Translated)"This band can be considered as (co-)headliner. (...)"


The original statement: (it is in German, the first part is not important, it'll be deleted)

(...)

Gesucht wird mindestens ein Co-Head, wenn nicht mehr. Und es sind Amerikaner.

(...)

Translated: "Wanted: at least a co-head, if not more. And they're American."

Which leaves the question open if a bigger headliner will show up or not. Sorry!

I've always said that you measure the level of a festival between 5 and 9 (pm, of course...). Because you can get headliners just as easily, it takes just three of them in fact, to show the world. But it's how you entertain the metalheads in the late afternoon/early evening that really makes the difference. Translating this into Wacken 2014, we have plenty of "5 to 9" groups for the three days (I can count up to 17 of them in the bill already announced, so I think a few of them could be playing in the later running order too) and a few solid pre-headliners Megadeth, WASP, Iced Earth, Hammerfall, Kreator, Amon Amarth, Emperor. I did not mention Motorhead on purpose because they have a headliner status regardless what you think of Lemmy's bunch.
So....what's the point of my post? Well, we're just three headliners away from making the trip from Torino, Italy to Holyland Wacken a great experience.
Ehm, of course, we want the Grave Digger to be in as well: they're my headliners everywhere they go! Digger! Digger! Digger!

I have to say: The linup is nice and good so far, but it isn´t such great that i could say: wow it blows my mind. i think it needs such a real big name to be a real big line up. i think motörhead is big, but thre must be one or two more like black sabbath or metallica.
