Hand in hand with the replacement for the cancelled As I Lay Dying performance, we like to present you some more names for this year’s Wacken Open Air!
Gojira will play at the Wacken Open Air for the second time by now and the band steps into the breach which was cut into the billing by As I Lay Dying. The band plays a complex mixture of extreme metal genres and elements and released its fifth album in 2012. We are looking forward to see them in Wacken again!
At last, Uli Jon Roth played with the Scorpions and Avantasia in Wacken. But now it is again time to listen to the very own material of the mastermind. Supported by his guest musicians, multi talent Roth is going to rock Wacken again!
Run Liberty Run, former known as RUNE, has finally left the training camp. Now they are going to play the stages in Germany and other countries.
After their fulminant debut in 2012 Santiano are coming back to Wacken again – with their new album in their luggage! Everyone who has just a little interest in party sailor music should add this performance to the personal running order!
For the already third time, the Bavarian beer garden will be entertained by the iconic band Blechblos’n and the Wackinger Stage will be enhanced by Ignis Fatuu. There are also two new walking acts: WirrWahr and Comes Vagantes.
Last but not least: The Chinese heavy metal band Spring Autumn is known as one of the most important metal bands from China. In 2013 the band which was found in 2000 will play at Wacken for the first time!
