There will be a (compared to Wacken & co) small metal festival in Tolmin (Slovenia) on Aug 20/21. There are no bands confirmed so far... As far as I know this is organized by the people behind the Metalfest Vienna (which won't take place this year).

(German only, sorry - but the pictures look promising)

And there are, of course, the "big" festivals of August:

Aug 05-07 Wacken Open Air ( http://www.wacken-open-air.de/ )
Aug 19-21 Summer Breeze ( http://www.summer-breeze.de/ )

There is really only one answer to this question...

"WACKEN"!!!!!!!!!!

Lowlands in Holland!!
Dynamo in Holland!! (if it's going on....)
Waldrock in Holland!! (I don't know when that's taking place...)

Wacken is a MUST if you are going to be there in that timeframe, I might be going this year as well.
