From the Wasteland at full speed into the Middle Ages - a fiery side program

07/10/2025

Music isn't everything, and anyone familiar with W:O:A will also appreciate the massive side program.

In both Wasteland and Wackinger Village you can expect a firework of sensations from cage fights to knight fights, from walking acts over motor to fire shows of all kinds – and of course with appropriate musical accompaniment!

But first, let's talk about Wackinger Beergarden & Santa Promilla!

Here, many solo artists as well as acoustic duos like Van Tastik, Lutz Drenkwitz, Tales of Nebelheym, Nikkijara die Teufelsgeigerin, NeuRuTics, Tabernis, Incantatem, Whizbow, Angry Zeta and Gregor Sintram will get you going!

As the name suggests, the Wackinger Kampfplatz is a place for action:

Show combat training and Bruchenball tournaments by the SSK, knight shows, camp parades, fire variety shows, dance dragon walk acts, der Haufen von Lydwas, the Dragons & Pois show, and Praimfaya dance, fight, and (fire-)breathe their way through the busy daily program in the best medieval style.

While we're talking of fire, things get HOT right away: literally with Sir Henry Hot Memorial, which will bring the daily program on the Wasteland Stage to a brilliant end.

It's no less hot but all the more apocalyptic in the Wasteland itself: Here, in the best "Mad Max" style, there will be cage fights, car drives, motor shows, various Wasteland Warrior fire shows, and the ever-popular Plushy Party on Friday. The end-time performances will also feature musical support from Godzilla in the Kitchen, High Desert Queen, Below Zero, Megabosch, Give Me Rain, Dramatist, Unsparrow, Angry Zeta (again with a more futuristic vibe) and Ducs!
