I have maths test thursday... Good thing that I have only two courses left after this one. But then I have the final exam, which I am not very excited about. :( I used to be really good at maths but when I went to high school that changed.

good luck!

I'm recovering from Soundwave, looking forward to the European festivals! I think I'll be less likel! And remember, it's summer time.

Though it may be raining all day long as well. to get sunburnt over there. :p

Prepare though! It could get hot here! Since the air is different from what you're used to, you might get sunburnt after all

:D I'm doing the Judas Priest/Dragonforce sidewave on Thursday. I've seen Dragonforce three times but never seen Priest, so I'm looking forward to that.

I think I'll be less likely to get sunburnt over there. :p

Really all depends. Some years it's hot and sunny, and I get burnt very easily. Other years it rains a lot. I hope it's reasonable weather for you :)

Will there be free water stations and sunscreen?

Water, yes. Last year they had 1L tetra packs in the full metal bag so you could fill it and bring it into the arena. Don't lose it :o

Not sunscreen though, but I'm sure you could get some from the 24hr supermarket or the one of the supermarkets within the village of Wacken. They are within a few hundred metres of the entrance.

Or the pharmacy (Apotheke in German) - look for a big red "A" or green cross (it's a nation-wide thing if I recall correctly).

It is, but a pharmacy is more expensive than a super market, or a drug store. Unless you have specific needs for your skin, then I'd recommend a pharmacy.

The (little) super market in the village should have sun cream, and other we the big Edeka just outside of Wacken. (20 min. walk, there are shuttle buses)

You can find lots more there. Beer e.g. or bbq coals, disposable bbq's etc.

Last year the weather was actually really nice, though it would've been nicer if it wasn't so dry. Sand dust everywhere. :( But I guess it's better than awful lot of mud.
