The 1st of Advent brings you the first 10 Bands of the W:O:A X-Mas Calendar 2024!

Finally, after much November rain during the last week we are happy to (en)lighten the first Sunday in December with our band announcement - and the first candle on the Achtung German Advents-Kranz!

Some of Heavy Metals biggest legends are coming to the Holy Ground to write history.
We can never get enough of Udo, correct? So, Dirkschneider will get in the ring in full "Balls To The Wall” mode, presenting the cult album in its entirety.  Also let us please welcome Max and Igor Cavalera Jr. who are currently reanimating Nailbomb after 30 years!

For Metalheads with distinctive taste the dark masters of ceremony from Belgium, Amenra, will unleash their Post-Metal, Kylesa are grazing the stages in 25 again after an 8-year hiatus and Midtempo cult leader and forefather Tommy Victor is bringing Prong back to our humble village.

Rising stars Enemy Inside will shine brightly with dark angel Nastassja Giulia mesmerizing you. Callejon are once again cementing their status as German Metalcore institution. Those of you who are missing some beer drinking hymns so far: fear no more – Rauhbein are packing up their mugs to fill them once again with Wacken ale.

And once your whistles are wet, we urge you to join this Royal Family of Rock as a massive back up choir:  US-Sensation Liliac will be grazing German stages for the first time – and of course ours is on their map as well.
Don’t cry now: we will let you enjoy your Sunday with this final band. Wether you will be sinning - or repenting: Dogma, a female Power Metal weapon featuring four naughty nuns deliver the perfect soundtrack for it!

Besides that todays raffle behind door No. 1 of the W:O:A X-Mas Calender will give you the possibility to win some bottles of the brand new edition of the strictly limited to 666 bottles Wacken Whisky by Fessler Mill!

So take part - THIS WAY!
