WACKEN 2025. Verdens største heavy metal-festival, den 34. Wacken Open Air 2025 (W:O:A), begynder den 30. juli 2025. Ozzy Osborne ville helt sikkert have elsket at være der og rocke med os...! (i denne blog om - in diesem Blog zu Ozzy Osborne)!! Festivalen for heavy rock-musik er endnu engang den globale heavy metal-begivenhed, der begejstrer alle generationer!!! Det får virkelig pulsen op, og man lader heavy metalen slå stenhårdt... ;-)) Siden 1990 har heavy metal-fans traditionelt oversvømmet landsbyen Wacken i Slesvig-Holsten den første weekend i august – hardrock-fans kender ikke noget vejr! Når højttalerne brager højt, vandpytterne vibrerer under motorcykelstøvlerne, eller solen bager på pelsen, så går det for alvor løs! SÅ ER DET "WACKEN"! Fra i morgen finder fire dages hardrock sted nordvest for Hamborg. I alt 85.000 billetter til festivalen er blevet solgt siden september 2024. Den officielle Wacken-hjemmeside viser entusiastiske fans og skærper appetitten til årets Wacken: www.wacken.com

Det store "Wacken 2025"-spektakel starter på hardrock-fansenes campingplads

Næsten 90.000 fans fejrer heavy metal-rock. Trods en regnfuld søndag fyldte mange gaderne i weekenden, begejstrede for rockmusikken fra superlydsystemet og forventningen til begivenheden, hvilket fik den lange biltur til at virke glemt. Til "Wacken Open Air 2025" har rækker af biler rullet roligt den ene efter den anden mod campingpladsen siden søndag, deres højttalere vugger til rytmen. Området blev ryddet lejlighedsvis, men fansene holdt ud...

Mange hardrock-gæster og Wacken-pilgrimme har slået sig ned i deres værelser på campingpladsen og fejret Wacken metal-ferielivet med øl, currywurst og pommes frites.

RECOMMANDATION DE LIVRE POUR LES FANS DU WACKEN !

Luddite Comics Heavy Metal : présenté par le Wacken

Duckburg se met au heavy metal !

« D’une idée géniale est né ce qui est sans doute le Luddite Comics le plus rock de l’histoire. Présenté par le célèbre W:O:A Wacken Open Air Festival dans le Schleswig-Holstein, Donald Duck et ses neveux se lancent dans un voyage à travers sept comics heavy metal, dont le légendaire Quacken Festival près de Duckburg. Entre deux tubes comiques enflammés, le nouveau LTB Heavy Metal vous invite à un cours d’air guitar endiablé, vous fournit des informations très pertinentes pour les conversations métal et vous donne des conseils importants pour un équipement de festival parfait.

Le LTB Heavy Metal est un incontournable pour toute bibliothèque de disques bien garnie ou pour votre prochain sac de festival ! » (Citation tirée de l'aperçu des Éditions Egmont)

Het grote "Wacken 2025"-spektakel barst los op de camping voor hardrockfans

De aankomst van de bijna 90.000 fans is bijna voltooid. Ondanks een regenachtige zondag stroomden velen het weekend door de straten, opgetogen door de rockmuziek uit het supergeluidssysteem en de voorpret, waardoor de lange autorit vergeten leek. Sinds zondag rijden rijen auto's rustig achter elkaar richting de camping voor "Wacken Open Air 2025", met de speakers op de maat van de muziek.

Veel hardrockgasten en Wacken-pelgrims hebben zich geïnstalleerd op hun campings en het metalvakantieleven van Wacken, compleet met bier, curryworst en friet, is begonnen.

Starting tomorrow, four days of hard rocking will take place northwest of Hamburg. A total of 85,000 tickets for the festival have been sold since September 2024.

The big "Wacken 2025" spectacle kicks off at the fans' campsite

The arrival of the nearly 90,000 fans is almost complete. Despite a rainy Sunday, many filled the streets over the weekend, thrilled by rock music from the super-sound system and anticipation of the event, making the long drive seem forgotten. Since Sunday, rows of cars have been rolling leisurely toward the campsite for "Wacken Open Air 2025," their speakers rocking to the beat.

Many hard rock guests and Wacken pilgrims have settled into their campgrounds, and the Wacken metal holiday life has begun, complete with beer, currywurst, and fries.
