Wacken Open Air 2007

[s_a_o]

I haven't seen a thread about this yet... and it seems to fit into the General Metal category.... So, here it goes.

Who is going to Wacken this August? Anybody have any tips for what sort of things to bring?

And and and and, does anybody want to meet up there?

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

I wish I could go, but being out of the country and all is a little too much for a concert considering my age. I would suggest bringing A LOT of money due to the massive amount of merch you'll be wanting to purchase there. Also I would suggest bringing your own food and drinks because I can assume they charge up the arse for the essential nutrition.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I'd go if I could teleport.

I have never been to Wacken, but it sounds good, I might look into this, however I would not travel overseas just to see some metal show. I live in NY btw

 

[Satanstoenail]

Same.

 

[METALDUDE]

I have always wanted to go and still do!!! I hope one day & SOOOON! Any word on a line-up this year or too early?

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

I need to go at some point, just need some cash and a boat.

 

[Black Core]

I'm pretty sure I'll go this year, wanting for a couple of years now but I never had the money, now I do. Any idea how much tickets are this year?

anyone who doesnt want to travel to germany is a fool. its not like you have to leave the country after the fest. everyone should travel around europe (and the rest of the world), its good for you. definitely money well spent.

my initial plans (but like i said, not confirmed due to jinxing) is to start in germany then head east through austria, hungary, and romania.

That would RULE!!

 

[genocide roach]

often their bands list isnt updated until a week after its announced in the news section. chthonic isnt on that list either, though they were just recently added to the bands page

@metalwrath: I live about 35 minutes outside of New York City. If you live in the tristate area, then I'm right up your alley.

I'm going to Wacken and then I'm spending a week or so in Hamburg basically exploring. I've always wanted to go Germany so I figure it will be cool to get all of this done at the same time.

It's less of an issue for me at this point, though, because my aunt is using her frequent flier miles for my roundtrip ticket as a graduation present... So all I'm really spending money on is my Wacken ticket, a bed in a youth hostel for my post-Wacken adventure, and whatever Merch I decided to buy when I'm there.

 

[Carcassian]

I plan to go.

Or rather, I did, before I blew £1000 on a 42" TV / Xbox 360 screen.
