Wacken Open Air 2021 is sold out!

Dear Metalheads,

with Wacken World Wide just around the corner, we have another announcement to make today: Wacken Open Air 2021 is sold out.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support you are showing us in these tough times. The planning reliability and capacity to act your actions are offering us is one aspect we have to thank you for, the other one is the moral support this gives to our whole team. Thanks to you we know that the show will go on, that we are part of a huge family and that metal will continue to have a home in Wacken.

Said gratitude is deepened since we know that many of you have to deal with their own hardships like dismissals, short-time work and lacking job opportunities. We are humbled by the fact that over 90% of you have decided to exchange their W:O:A 2020 tickets for W:O:A 2021 with the remaining ones being sold this quickly. You can be sure that we will give our very best to turn W:O:A 2021 into an unforgettable experience!

Furthermore, quite a few ticket owners have decided to donate their ticket to another Metalhead instead of exchanging it for 2021 or requesting refunds. We are blown away by this solidarity shown amongst each other. These Solidarity Tickets will be given out in the next weeks.

Metalheads, we are grateful in every aspect. See you in Wacken – Rain or Shine!

Your W:O:A team
