Wacken Foundation starts rescue fund

Dear Metalheads,

the current times are incomparable and especially the music industry is facing one of their biggest challenges so far.

Therefore, the Wacken Foundation decided to support the industry with rescue funds (with a maximum sum of 1.000€).

You can apply for these funds, if you:

• have financial losses due the case of cancelled tours
• lost money because of cancelled engagements
• had extra travel costs because of cancelled concerts on a running tour
• as an organizer of Heavy Metal events, have costs because of short term concert cancellations
• are in a situation, where you are not able to cover the rental fee of your rehearsal room (because of short work; cancelled engagements, remunerations, salaries etc.)
• and much more

The application file must be sent informal to rescue-fund@wacken-foundation.com. Please also describe the circumstances and include a comprehensible calculation of the costs.

We will prove every single application personally.

We would like to ask all "regular applicants", who have sent us his/her application "before Corona", for some more extra patience.

The Wacken Foundations is focused to support all musicians, bands and organizers which are struggling the side effects of Corona/Covid 19.
