W:O:A 2018, Wacken Germany (Aug 01 - Aug 04)

The 29th edition of Wacken Open Air will present classic acts from the 70's and 80's like Judas Priest, Doro, Lee Aaron, Helloween, Cannibal Corpse, Sepultura, In Flames, Samael, Vince Neil and Dirk Schneider.

Ofcourse there will be a lot of great acts of the 90's and 00's as well. To name a few: Hatebreed, Madball, Dimmu Borgir, Nightwish, Children of Bodom, Amorphis, Gojira, Ensiferum, Epica, Steel Panther, Oomph!

The last few years there is also more extreme music on the Billing of W:O:A. With Watain, Vallenfyre, Destruction, Ghost, Behemoth, Belphegor, Mantar and ofcourse Gaahl's Wyrd, the dark side will be served as well.

Next to the great bands there is a lot of other things happening at Wacken ... The Famous Biergarten, Medieval Camp, Surprise acts on small stages. But the best part ... 100.000 Metalheads with only one goal ... Party with friends :)

After a year of absence (parental responsibilities), Metalshots will make a Full Report of all the Metal Battle Bands (and fans) at the Big Tent Stages next to the Wackinger Village. So if you want to be "Shot" by Metalshots at the 29th Wacken Open Air, "Metal Battle" is the place to be :)
