Hit their website and socials for reports as it happens and if you are heading there we really don’t hate you even if we say that we do ;p

The Metal Festival to end all Metal Festivals will take place in Wacken, Germany over the next few days and we list it here because we know some of our readers are making the pilgrimage from the states.
