W:O:A 2026 Access Pass - On sale from Friday, 10:00 AM

Metalheads,
less than four months to go until the anniversary!
As promised, here are the first important details about the booking start of the Access Pass.

This information is important for all visitors and campers who will be traveling to Wacken Open Air 2026 by vehicle.
Our goal: a safe and relaxed arrival for all Metalheads.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE BOOKING START
Sales and booking of the Access Pass for all camping areas will start on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM in the Wacken Ticketcenter.

New in 2026:

• The Silent Doom camping area.
  In this area, we’ll symbolically put noise-cancelling headphones on you and eliminate certain disruptive factors: no nighttime use of generators and a ban on boomboxes. After the last stage performance, absolute nighttime quiet applies.
• In 2026, there will once again be a camping area directly on the festival grounds where you set up your tent separately from your car. This year under a new name: Split Camping – Park here. Camp there. (formerly Camping Only)

You can find all detailed information about the Access Pass here!

Information about the two new areas can be found here!

Your,
The W:O:A team
