What is happening?

The band's announcements is so slow, today is february 27th and only are 31 bands confirmed, 27th Feb. 2008 were 52 bands, 27th Feb 2007 were 50 bands..

 

They want to rise the tension

Or they don't want to rise the ticket prices

 

i agree!! could be the reason, but wasn´t it like that the last years as well?

 

SoldOut was after February and as he said at that point were 50 Bands announced hmm

 

i can´t remember the details...see it will be my 11 th wacken...get bands and pr-methods easily mixed up.....getting old!!!
but i guess as well that the negociations with the band-managements are some years easy and some are less......perhaps...

 

that's also...

before 1-2 hours i looked in the gig lists at rock hard and metal hammer.

that was not too much for the next months....

 

as long as they have enough bands in the billing till wacken!!

 

enough GOOD bands Yes, it's definately getting on my nerves!!!!!

 

this slowness on the part of the organizers is pissing me off....c'mon Wacken!!! Give us Tankard, Wintersun, King Diamond, Grave Digger, and Sabaton again and I will shut the fuck up forever!

 

Summer breeze is after Wacken and they have 75 confirmed bands!
I think, like Wacken is Sold out, the organizers wants to reduce the band's fees, or pay less.... doing the negotiations hard.

I wouldn't like mostly metalcore bands, like last year, i really would like to see old school bands.. like

VENOM (headline black stage ),
Tankard
Pestilence (reunion)
Voivod
King Diamond

Some Pagan Viking like
Arkona (Russia)
Thyrfing
Manegarm
Equilibrium

I really believe that the 20th anniversary must be a very very special fest....with very special bands...and not a fest like others....

 

And that does maybe cost time

 

I really hope so, for my trip from Mexico to Wacken worthwhile

 

That's an argument

I have only 3,5 hours by car ^^

 

Well, how long do you need to get to e.g. Graspop? (I know you're not going, but still...)
I need 20 min. by train and half an hour extra by bus.
