Today is World Blood Cancer Day – DKMS and W:O:A stand united against blood cancer!

Wacken & DKMS: A powerful team saving lives together

For eleven years, Wacken Open Air has partnered with DKMS: Over 12,700 Metal fans have already signed up - 90 fans have donated stem cells, giving patients a second chance at life.

Here’s how you can help: “Open your mouth. Swab your cheek. Become a donor.”

Register online at dkms.de/wacken or visit the DKMS booth at W:O:A 2025 at the Wacken Foundation area to register on-site.
Share your support on social media with the hashtags #MundAufGegenBlutkrebs #DKMSxW:O:A 

Every registration counts!

In Germany, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer every 12 minutes - worldwide, it’s every 27 seconds.
DKMS needs your support.

Blood cancer can affect anyone, and for many, a stem cell donation is the only hope for a cure. 

Register and Shine
Your W:O:A team
