WACKEN OPEN AIR 8/5-8, 2010 WACKEN, GERMANY


It need not be said, no reason to even promote this mammoth, legendary metal festival as every year fans travel internationally to this small farm town in Germany reserved exclusively for WACKEN OPEN AIR (that's pronounced VACKEN for us non Germans.).
YES, WACKEN OPEN AIR 2010 METAL FEST is happening NOW 8/5 through 8/8/2010 as the festivals running order is below, IRON MAIDEN IS HEADLINING THE 2010 WACKEN OPEN AIR.
FROM WIKEPEDIA:
"Wacken Open Air (W:O:A) takes place annually in the small town of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. With 70,000 festival visitors, it attracts all kinds of metal music fans, such as fans of black metal, death metal, power metal, thrash metal, gothic metal and also folk metal, from around the world.

The festival was first held in 1990 as a small event for local German bands. By 1998 the event had become the major festival on the European metal calendar and one of the most important in the world and included over 70 bands from all over Europe, North America and Australia. W:O:A is held at the beginning of August and lasts three days." - Wikipedia
