Everyone Has a Right to Metal!

Created by WackenMatthias
11/09/2024

This year, Jenny from Beyond The Black visited the Wheels of Steel Area at W:O:A and got an impression of our accessible camping area for people with disabilities, which Wacken Open Air organizes in collaboration with Alsterarbeit volunteers.

Get to the Wheels of Steel Area here!

In the interview, the singer shares her perspective on what Metal means to her and explains how she experiences W:O:A in this context:

                 

What does Metal mean to you, and what role does inclusion play in that vision?

“Metal, to me, is pure passion and ultimate freedom. It’s more than just music: It’s a lifestyle, a community where everyone can be themselves. That’s exactly why inclusion is essential! Metal celebrates diversity, breaks down boundaries and brings people together - no matter who they are or where they come from. That’s the feeling we want to convey with our music.”

                 

How do you experience the Wacken Open Air in this regard?

“Wacken Open Air is the perfect place for this. Nowhere else is inclusion lived so fully! People as well as bands from all corners, come together here. Wacken shows that Metal knows no boundaries, and that’s what makes this festival unique.”

                 

You’re set to play on the Holy Ground again next year. What are your expectations, how excited are you, and do you have any special plans?

“We have big expectations for our show at Wacken Open Air! It will definitely be one of the most significant performances for us as a band. It’ll be the biggest and most elaborate show in our band’s history, complete with special surprises, new songs and plenty of epic moments! We can’t wait to turn the energy we get from the Wacken crowd into something truly extraordinary!”

Information on booking plots on the Wheels of Steel Area will be available soon and will go out via our social media channels and our website. For all other questions, contact inclusion@wacken.com
