NEED SOME UPDATES HERE!!!!

[Loco]

Hmmmmm, the thing that really upsets me now, isn't the fact that the announcement is shit, but there's no appollogy, or reason they didn't release the list last night. I last checked at 3am German time and still nothing. And they put it on the site as if it was released on time "06-04-09 18:00: W:O:A 2009 - Weitere Bands bestätigt!"

I can't agree more. Since they are not giving us the line-up we expected, the least they could do is respect the WOA attendees enough to be honest with us. I hope I'm wrong, but i have the feeling that this year's organization is killing our beloved WOA as we knew it.

Well, now it's official.
Not impressed with this when they build up our expectations skyhigh and announce this...

I babelfished the last sentence, "Weitere Bands und Infos folgen demnächst… " and I'm getting "Further ones of volume and information follow shortly". Meaning something like more bands and stuff to come shortly? Though we know what "Shortly" means in german

Well, now it's official.

I'm gonna cut the organizers some slack. To be honest, apart from the fact that we knew already that those bands were going to play and, therefore, this is not a major announcement, these are pretty good solid bands nevertheless. For me ENSLAVED released the CD of the 2008 with Vertebrae. I saw them live last year and the song Watcher game me goosebumps. ENDSTILLE is a really good black metal band. MAGO and SUBWAY are great pagan bands. MAGO is really big in Span and South America, they are used to fill big stadiums, they may surprise a few people in Wacken. Personally, I will enjoy GAMMA RAY and DORO very much too. Also, the rest of the bands in that list would look good for the bottom of any major festival's poster.

To the organizers, don't give up, bring us a couple of major headliners, reduce the price of the beer and we'll make it a great 20th anniversary! Save Wacken please!

A long way from what i was hoping for, although there should still be about another 20 bands to come, not exactly what most of us were wishing for. hope they do better than this in the next announcement. wondering if it is worth the 29 hour journey, although i do enjoy the beer garden.

Not a bad announcement but nothing huge there. I have to work out my euro trip soon and just can't decide what to do. Really want to fit Wacken in but the lineup's not as strong as some other fests yet.

yeah I guess when you're coming from the other side of the world this line up is pretty lame..

I'm sorry, but this really sounds stupid.

As most know by know there was an overflooding of the server. They should had expected that, but oke. When that overflooding was finally over it was late. Nobody would stay at work till around midnight because of something like that. Sure they should had posted this in the message about the new bands, but they didn't well who cares everybody knows it by now anyway.
