Q & A about Wacken Open Air

[gnoff]

I don't mind people asking questions, but sometimes it seems very obvious that one has not even tried finding the answer.

So, for those who wants to find something out regarding wacken, try one of these threads.

If nothing else, if you have any questions regarding travels to/from Wacken, at least read the first post in the sticky at the very top.

And if you can not find the answer to your question, even after using the "search" function, you may use this thread for asking the questions as well.
