Three Wacken veterans behind the eighth door

Created by WackenJasper
12/08/2018

Two of today's bands were founded in 1990 just like our festival, while the third one is already active since 1985. Today belongs to the veterans accordingly. And here they are:

 

Skyclad

Skyclad are an integral part of the history of both Folk Metal and W:O:A and we look forward to the band's return. Recently they visited Wacken for the Wacken Winter Nights, now it's time to return to the big brother of our winter festival.

The Crown

Thrash and Death are the essence of The Crown, who last visited us in 2003. The Swedes have released a new album this year, Cobra Speed Venom, which shows the band in top form and full of joy. Don’t miss them!

Die Kassierer

This legendary German punk rock band is known for strange lyrics and unbelievably funny performances. They invite you to a morning pint in our infield in 2019 - an invitation you shouldn't turn down easily.

And here are the x-mas winners from the 7th of december 2018:

Carsten D - Zülpich
Ditte R - (Denmark)
Nazareth S - Mungia bizkaia
Michael G - Frankfurt
Ulrike W - Köln

All winners will beinformed by email!

Tomorrow we will announce the next band and xmas winners!
