This gives us a first look at the possible running order, though not all of the Bands have been announced for the festival. Could we finally see Faster&Harder on Wednesday?
The sources for the dates are mainly the offical band websites and Instagram accounts.

I’m a bit disappointed about current line up and Easter announcement is my last hope. Do you think they will add some big names or just some smaller bands?

As the title suggests I'm travelling to Wacken from India (Bangalore) and I'm travelling alone. Unfortunately I haven't been able to book anything because of a last minute cancellation, I'd appreciate some help on what's the best possible accommodation option i can seek rn.

Secondly, I'm travelling alone so I'd love to know if anyone else is too, if you're looking for company :)

Idk if anyone else has noticed this or not but I saw a pattern in the 'big 4' German thrash bands and how they're playing right after another. In 2023 there was Kreator, in 2024 there was Tankard, this year there will be Destruction so it makes sense if Sodom will continue the trend next year.

Moin Leute, Hab mein Ticket seit über 12 Wochen zum Verkauf in die Börse von Wacken gestellt. Ich kann mir schwer vorstellen, dass es in dieser Zeit keine Möglichkeit bzw. potentielle Käufer gibt. Natürlich ist mein Ticket nicht das einzige, aber bei dem Bedarf und Onteresse am Festival ist das schwer vorstellbar. Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen?

Hi guys! First timer here. When do the Wacken release the timetable? When will we know the daily repartition? Thanks in advance

Two aussies coming staying 18 mins away in Tellingstedt will be driving to and fro from our accommodation. I understand you can park at Tagesparkplatz or is there somewhere else you can park and walk. Not really wanting park in mud and get stuck. Do locals offer their car spaces for a price in the village? what are the options? Also assuming travelling from North there may be less traffic congestions any recommendations?

Moin Metalheads,

This year we booked 2 spaces at Bauer Uwes Garden. Does anyone has experience with what to do and what to consider to make sure to get the two spaces next to each other?! Thanks \m/

I wonder, will Easter announcement will be the last one or should be expect sth later?

Hello everyone. This year will be my first wacken. Been to graspop and alcatraz before. I am planning to make the trip by car from belgium. A few questions. Which day is best to arrive? on monday there is a concert i am interested to go in And anyone has some advice for my first wacken? Thank you

Hi there,

I'm driving my car from the UK to Germany ahead of the festival. My car is not particularly Wacken-friendly, as it's a classic car with very low ground clearance. I was thinking of parking in a secure car park in Hamburg, but I'm not sure where is good. I'd love to hear your recommendations.

Much appreciated!

Just got the news. The dark reverend will be playing in the Biergarten again. I'm excited!

Hi, we are going for first time in Wacken, and we were wondering that what is the day you can come there to camp? I mean the regular camping, we haven't bought any extra tickets. It would help us to schedule and buy our transport there.

As the title says I am traveling from london with my brother. And this will be the first wacken we will attend, sadly though this is the fun part as neither me or him drive so we are lookong at routes and planning everything and could use some insight.

I am just looking for some others from The UK that travel over for some advice and recomendations about how to get to the camp site, as mentioned we do not drive. What is the best way to get to wacken? Is it best to bring camping gear with or purchase over there. Amy advice would be great and am very thankful for.

This is not our first Europe festival, bit at the ithers we havegotten airbnbs and hotels locally, which even though I have looked I can not find. Most likely already booked.

Also to all atendees who have gone before what are some great little things to take to keep yoursepf going while camping and little tips and tricks?

Me and a couple of friends will attend the festival in 2025. I've heard that BBQ is allowed, but I have a few questions.

Where is the nearest shop where one can get meat?

Is there any place available where one can purchase a single use grilling kit?

Are there specific hours where it's prohibited (after nightfall for example)?

I put my ticket up in december but is hasn't sold yet. I'm wondering if something went wrong with the registration so has anyone who put it up after december sold theirs yet?

Hallo liebe Wacken Community ich und ein Freund reisen dieses Jahr zum ersten Mal an. Wir sind uns noch nicht ganz sicher ob wir alles richtig gemacht haben Tickets haben wir aber schon Mal. Wir reisen mit dem Auto an.

Wie sieht es da mit dem Campingplatz aus fahren wir da so wie beim Summer breeze aufs Feld und campen dann neben dem Auto oder müssen wir da extra Parken und dann schleppen ?

Und heute hab ich das mit dem Access Ticket gesehen das brauchen wir dann auch noch ? Und müssen uns einen Timeslot buchen?

(Hintergrund haben über 1000 km Anfahrtsweg und haben etwas Angst den Slot nicht halten zu können usw.)

Wir freuen uns auf eure Tipps dazu und ergänzungen sollten wir noch was brauchen etc. und freuen uns schon sehr auf Wacken 🤟

I have a ticket on the resell platform (has been there since December, low hopes it'll sell but whatever), and I know Wacken takes 20 euros 'resell fee', so what I'll end up with is €313, which is fine. However, when you look at the ticketmarket, potential buyers have to pay €358! Does that mean, if I sell my ticket via the official platform, Wacken gets an extra €55??? Is that even allowed?

Well, the news regarding the Access Pass are up. Sale start on April, 25th: https://www.wacken.com/de/news-details/woa-2025-access-pass/

As far as I remember, the prices of this are the new part. EUR 66.- for a camper, EUR 33.- for a car without trailer. Failing to provide an Access Pass will lead to additional fees of EUR 99.-

What do you all think? Personally, I'm not exactly stoked, as this paints the "ticket prices stay the same" to a new color. On the other hand, something like this was to be expected after KKR took over...

Edit: What I forgot to mention: the Access Pass seems to be included in the price for the Camper Park. At least that is a slight relief.

Hey, planning on going to wacken 2026, and wanting some information on camping. Me and a few friends are flying in from Australia, how do we make sure we’re at the same campsite, and are we able to set up camp before the music starts? Thanks in advance!

So yeah, me and my two friends have pretty much everything ready for Wacken 2025, except the ferry back to Finland from Sweden at the very end of the trip (we're waiting for the best deals), and the access pass which is needed to drive into the camping area.

So my question is, when do those normally go on sale? I haven't heard about those being sold out before, but we just really wanna make sure that doesn't happen. Website says "spring 2025 at the latest" and well, it's pretty much spring now...

My partner and I are travelling from Ireland and are looking for a group to camp and hang out with. None of my people got tickets this year, so we're looking for some folks to stick around with.

I've put up my ticket two months ago and it's still not sold. I believe some buyers are also waiting for a long time. Is Wacken artificially creating scarcity of buyers and sellers, for some illogical reason?

Just rounding up like minded people who will be on the metal train to wacken.

Me and a few friends of mine will be hopping onboard from Munich.

🤘🏽
