The Silver Annniversary of the largest metal festival in the world W:O:A will be held from July 30 to August 2014 in the North-western German village of Wacken.
Five stages of the best metal bands, a giant fair, metal market and several intersting acts such as wrestling and viking battles will keep even the most demanding visitors amused.
No wonder that the tickets have been sold out for months already.

. Among the headliners are the notorious bands Motörhead, King Diamond and Slayer on thursday, Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Norwegian Black metal legend Emperor, Megadeth, Kreator, Sodom and Amon Amarth on saturday.
These bands will play on the True Metal Stage and Black Stage. On the W.EW.T stage, Headbanger stage and Party Stage several emerging talents will be seen. Amongst others the national winners of the metal battle competition.

At the W:O:A site you can find the running order.

Our photographer will present you with an atmospherical impression of this festival afterwards.
