Comments from the Wacken organization:
While the last chords of the storms still reverberate over the hallowed ground, we can already offer you the first preview of the 33rd edition of the Wacken Open Air. And one thing we can promise you! It will be magical!
The number 33 is not only a magic number, but it also quantifies for the first time this year the number of raids we will release in the first wave of raids.
In 2024 we will transform the Sacred Ground into a mystical playground, supported by all kinds of legends from the heavy metal sagas. The first wave of gangs will be led by some legendary teammates who have already graced us multiple times in W:O:A.
