FROM WACKEN OPEN AIR 2014 PROMOTERS:
The second week of the W:O:A Advent calendar has begun! Next to some nice daily prizes we can also present the next band for our 25th Anniversary 2014: 

Saxon 
Saxon is one of the pioneers of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and at the heyday of nwobhm, they were at eye level with bands like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. After some short musical excursions, the band reflected on its old strengths. And you can still notice this at their newest output: Sacrifce is the 20th studio album and was released earlier this year in March. And at W:O:A, the band will play for 8th time!

Another day with two new bands for W:O:A 2014. And both bands are looking forward to their first W:O:A performances. 

The Vintage Caravan 
Classic rock is back in action and the Vintage Caravan members knew this extra early. In fact, it was in 2006, when each of them was only 12 years old. The band has already the reputation to be a great live act and it’s time for their first album as well – and this will be released in January 2014.
