I don't know why guys are screaming bloody murder about this all. OK i have to admit that I don't like some of the bands either but who does? What you guys do need to understand is that we are at onle 43 bands. Last year Wacken had around 70, that means that in the next 100 days they still have around 30 bands they have to announce.
And I am guessing that those last 30 bands will be worth the wait.
What you are failing to realize is that some of us must pay for flights & bus, reserve accommodations, take vacations from work. All this is done with months in advance, and those months passed already!
If we are going to pay big bucks for a festival, at least make it worth it! I bet that if everyone had a choice, they would surely change their reservations/vacations to other fests that grant more value in quality vs price!
And right now I don't really care if there are another 30 bands to be announced. What I see is that this year there are festivals with line-up's absolutely amazing, putting Wacken to shame! And for less money!!
In short:
- why is the Orga despising Death, Black, Doom and Thrash?
- where are the major bands? I see them in other fests, in Wacken I see mostly shitty ones;
- the ticket price was raised to 130€ and the line-up is surprisingly POOR when compared to other years, when it was cheaper. How can that be explained?
- It's April and there's still only ONE headliner.
- last but not the least: lack of communication.
