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.
