I don't think so, it's like last year that because Iron Maiden had the true metal stage every band before them played on the black... so maybe it means that there would be a really big headliner that need the true metal stage?
Iron maiden had the stage as it was a date on their somewhere back in time tour. It was iron maiden plays wacken as such, but more that they had their tour on wackens stage.... if you know what i mean?
Bands never normall play that stage on thursday, they'd just secondered it as they needed hours to set up their stage show, the headliners for thursday are on the black stage.
An sorry jordan, H&H ok are headliners but so are RW before them an I'd bet money RW have a longer set than H&H
but yeh on the main stages fri an sat the headliners aren't the last bands, headliners normally play in a kinda 9-12 at night kinda time slot you get a headliner on each stage so friday its In Flames and motorhead, and saturday its Motorhead and saxon who'l likely play in that time slot. with other big names on either side of them.
Either way its a great set up, an GWAR closing the festival 2-3am on saturday morning will be spectacular!
An for the person asking for immortal behemoth etc they said we're not getting those kinda bands the line up is almost finished now there's no spaces left for anyone to play!
wait an see what you get next year, if u hate the line up an dont wanna go sell your ticket or give it to me for free!
i have lots of friends who wanna go an didn't get their tickets in time! AGAIN!!!! they'l never learn! Buy your tickets before the line ups announced lol or you will not get a chance!
