Wacken 2007

[JayKeeley]

If Jason's prediction comes true, it makes the roster go from good to great. Especially when you consider BG headlining one of those nights. Bards and Demons unite.

I should be in Belgium this summer; depending how much I make and how much free time, I might have to go to this.

D & W would also be a strong possibility should this happen: however, my belief is that it would be only for a few songs during one of their respective sets. Of course, if for some reason it doesn't happen, all bets are off. (I just don't want to jinx it).

It has indeed come true. Demons & Wizards may even be a possibility now.

I know Amman would love this as well. Ali, if you can find a way to make it, you just gotta do it.

ICED EARTH!!!!

Ohh man, I think Im going to have to do Wacken and Progpower this year, the lineup is fantastic.

If you do, make sure you reach out to DarkOne or I, so we can meet up for a few drinks.

LOL.

Ohh yea, I'll definitely be seeking out anyone from these parts that goes this year.

 

[EVERLOSTINDEADETERNITY]

Lineup looks real good. Wish i could go. i would love to see Stormwarrior as well. Black Majesty's last album was good. Destruction would be awesome considering they cancelled their show in Tulsa that I was gonna try to go to with a buddy of mine.

 

[Doom]

So it seems like I might actually be going this year! None of my friends have shown any interest in previous years, but seems like two are up for going this year. Fucking awesome!

To anyone who has been before: when does this thing normally sell out? What's best, flying out or driving out? I imagine driving out would be a load of fun but if it's a nightmare to get to maybe not.

Take something like Ryanair from Stansted Airport (or from Heathrow or Gatwick if you can find a low cost airline that flies from those) to Hamburg or Lubeck and take a train from there to Itzehoe. Perhaps not the funnest, but definitely the easiest way I say.

If you think you're definitely going this year, I wouldn't delay in getting a ticket (I ordered mine through www.metaltix.com). The fest seems to sell out quicker and quicker each year.

General Zod and I are definitely going this year - hanging out is a MUST if possible.

Then, next year, when you realize how incredibly cool we are, you'll want to hang with Zod, JayKeeley, myself and possibly others at the Slovenia Metal Camp (or whatever it's called). It looks so amazing, Zod and I are green with envy over JK going this year. We have to settle for Wacken.... dammit!!!!

"settle for Wacken" lol, Wacken is the holy mecca of metal fests!! Granted, Slovenia looks amazing, scenery-wise, but you can't beat the line ups at Wacken.

I must attend Wacken one year just to say I did it, even once. Maybe in '08, I can do both Metal Camp and Wacken.

At one point this year, I thought the line up at Wacken was a little 'average', but now, when looking at the poster, I think the lineup this year is outstanding.

Exactly. I'd love to try out other fests in other years, but I HAVE to go to Wacken at least once, and since this is the first time I will have travelled abroad to a metal fest Wacken seemed the most appropriate place to go. Plus the line-up does kick ass.

Thanks for the advice! Us Europeans are pretty lucky how easy and cheap it is the travel to other European countries. I can get my weekend ticket AND my flights for cheaper than it would cost for just the weekend ticket to Download festival (the only big 'metal' fest in the UK, totally dominated by mainstream bands).

Hoping to secure my ticket in the next few days. And yes, beers will definitely be in order!

Yep, stick with Jason -- he is a Wacken veteran (aka tour guide)

 

[Dark One]

"settle for Wacken" lol

Yeah, that was definitely a tongue-in-cheek comment. I've been there twice and Wacken is absolutely incredible, no question about it. Still, for myself, having never experienced the Slovenia trip, it looks breathtaking in every sense of the word.

Haha, "Wacken veteran", I am filled with pride at such a title.

 

[Dark One]

Thanks for the advice!

Sure thing.

Fixed.

 

[Claws of Perdition]

I need to go, have a euro holiday on my mind as does my g/f just need the funds, so maybe next year and will stay over for a few months.
