The Wacken festival started more than 20 years ago with just a few hundred people in attendance. Tickets now sell out before the lineup is announced. - Henry Rollins
The Wacken Open Air festival is a mecca for all true heavy metal fans - over 70,000 rockers from around the world vie for scarce concert tickets each year, so they can experience a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, where the best heavy metal bands play Louder than Hell for 4 days of rock and roll nirvana in a small village in Germany.
In Wacken for Beginners, author Regine Rauin gives an insiders' view of the Wacken festival, detailing the thrill of getting concert tickets two days before the festival and making the journey by train to Wacken, with only a pink backpack and her sleeping bag. After being assisted by many awesome W: O: A veterans as a festival greenhorn, Rauin now passes valuable festival and village information to those fellow metalheads who are considering making their mecca to Wacken, or perhaps have even managed to land tickets.
In this complete Wacken guide for metal fans, you will learn:
- What is the Wacken Open Air festival and why should I go? Some of the best metal bands of all time have played Wacken, including Motorhead, Dio, Slayer and Helloween.
- What you need to know before you go to Wacken - how to get there, where to sleep, what to wear, who will you meet there?
- Navigating the Wacken festival area - how the stages are arranged, food, facilities and everything you need to know.
- The vibes and feel of Wacken - what to wear, life on the meadow and camping near Wacken, the swimming pool and what to do in the village - pubs and where to hang out
- Events and warmups, which in past events have included sword fighting matches, spoken word events, Wastelands car parades, group karaoke and lots more
- Shopping and food and drinks that you have to check out
For Regine Rauin, the festival's logo, the ram's head, symbolizes not only her own zodiac sign but also her origin as a country girl. With the ram as her zodiac sign, she knows all about having horns. So who could be better suited than Regine to accompany YOU on your first WACKEN? Are you in? Then let's go to the HOLY GROUND.
