Security notice about Wacken 2010

Dear metalheads,

As every year we have summed up all important security notices:

GENERAL

Violence - We don’t want any kind of violence at the W:O:A! In case of damage at the fencing, the marquees and tents, or any other equipment of the organizer or other institutions, which support the festival, the person(s) in charge will be send off the festival and camping ground and a criminal prosecution will occur also in case of using pyrotechnical objects.

We want a wicked, peaceful Metal week, just like the years before!

Open Fire / campfire / pyro is not allowed on the whole camping and festival area. Any violation will be avenged with a sending-off.

Glas bottles - Due to security and enviromental reasons, it is not allowed to bring glass - especially glass bottles - to the parking and camping area this year. You are allowed to bring as many plastic bottles and beverage cans as you want.
