85,000 Metalheads from over 80 nations come together every year at the Wacken Open Air. But the feeling of being part of a worldwide Metal community can already begin for you on arrival if you ride to the festival as a group with one of our official travel partners. You will spend the night on site at the legendary World Metal Camp! Nowhere else you will feel more intensely that Wacken is about more than music – also solidarity and living out a passion together – than in this area.
- Everything included: Travel, festival ticket, overnight stay - the complete packages from our travel partners are really practical, as you don't have to book anything separately. You already have a ticket? Then you can of course take advantage of this offer and also enjoy the organization of travel and accommodation.
- Relaxed arrival: Via a separate route, you arrive directly at the bus station on the festival site.
- International flair: You will spend the night at the World Metal Camp with Metalheads from various countries. Your booking via the travel partner automatically guarantees you a campsite there. Would you like a little more comfort? Then check out the offers from our travel partners. Overnight stays in some Special Camping areas are also possible.
- Personal service: All good with rebooking, canceling, unanswered questions. Contact your travel partner directly and they will take care of everything.
- Sustainable group travel: If you come to the festival together with others, you preserve the environment because fewer individual transfers are necessary.
Metalheads come to the Wacken Open Air from all over the world. They all have the same goal: the World Metal Camp. Right next to the festival site, you'll have your own area just for you to party with groups from Europe, Asia and overseas and make new Metal friends across national borders. All this in a unique place of cultural exchange that you simply must experience.
