What a ridiculous thing to say, everyone will be attending next years, me included.

We'll see. I'd need to know who was playing, etc. It's a little more of a thing for me to get my happy ass to Germany than you, yanno?

so who was blown away by nifelheim and watain?

charlie · Post by **charlie** » Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:55 pm

Missed Nifelheim. They clashed with someone else. Watain were fucking incredible though.

Apparently Heaven & Hell will be one of the headliners for 09. It will be announced on the website this week I think.

Yeh watched em both. Watain I'd seen before and I wasn't into em as much this time round. Nifelheim were great fun but Negura Bugnet ruled

Wish I had seen Nugera Bunget

long4theblur · Post by **long4theblur** » Sat Aug 30, 2008 2:13 am

Most of the hot chicks had boyfriends hanging all over them

Yeah

Tons of hotties though. I'd say one out of three was a hottie. But like long4 said, they had boyfriends.

Tickets now on sale. 130 Euros (Â£105)

First year I went I paid around â‚¬55. That shows how big the fest has got.

whitemike · Post by **whitemike** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 3:03 am

Yeh, it's pretty gay but everything is getting more and more expensive so it's no surprise.

But yeh, next year is also going to be my last for the foreseeable future.

long4theblur · Post by **long4theblur** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 7:48 pm

I'm going to try to make it into Europe next year, I don't know if I'll be up Germany's way though. If I am, fellas

Wacken Open Air wrote:The run for the much sought-after tickets for the 20th anniversary of the cult festival & biggest Heavy Metal festival worldwide taking place in the far north from 30th July until 1st August has started.

The X-Mas tickets for the W:O:A 2009 which were limited to 10,000 were completely sold out within 24 hours and already the new mark is nearing 25,000.

We thank you for your great support. The X-Mas tickets will be sent out straight away.

Once again we are anticipating a SOLD OUT for 2009 and are investing further in the festivalâ€™s infrastructure as well as in more service & security for festival goers, service providers and residents of the borough of Wacken.

The first reputable artists will finally be confirmed within the next few days.

Tickets are available exclusively at www.metaltix.com

We hope to have helped you with this.

Your
W:O:A Team

Shit. This could be sold out by XMAS.
