The St. Nicholas Day: Marilyn Manson and Europe are enhancing the lineup!

Today’s St. Nicholas Day comes with two very special treats! And today's raffle at xmas.wacken.com is very worthwhile too, check it out!
Should Ozzy Osbourne step back from his title as the prince of darkness, there is a good chance that Marilyn Manson could be his successor. He and his band are shaking the world since 1989, protests, stage bans and scandals are their constant companions.
Musically, they are mixing a lot of styles and genres! It’s hard to classify them. A classification as Alternative Rock would fit but they are changing their style over and over again. Hard Rock, Industrial Metal, Death Metal, Blues Rock – they can combine anything, without making it sounding random or odd.
Right now, the band is finishing their next album SAY10, set for release on Valentine's Day 2017 – a perfect timing for their first W:O:A show!
Much more than just The Final Countdown! Europe's show at W:O:A 2015 had the tent completely filled. The recorded show was later taken by the band to round up the special edition of their current Album War of Kings.
The band wants to hit studio in early 2017 again to record the eleventh album of the band’s history. The release is planned for autumn, but we will probably be able to hear a few new songs already at Wacken Open Air!
And here are the x-mas winners from the 5th of december 2016:
Jennifer G - Hann.münden (GER)
Elke R - Boppard (GER)
Franz-Josef B - Erkelenz (GER)
Elena K - Ulan-Ude (RUS
Jens D - Linz (AUS)
All winners will be informed by mail!
Tomorrow we will announce the next bands and xmas winners!
