Público do Wacken assistindo a um show na edição de 2005 do festival

Wacken Open Air (chamado ainda pela sigla W:O:A ou simplesmente por Wacken) é o maior festival de heavy metal da Europa. A partir de 2002, ele passou a acontecer durante três dias no mês de Agosto (antes disso, eram apenas dois dias de festival). Seu lugar é o pequeno vilarejo homônimo de Wacken, em Schleswig-Holstein, ao norte da Alemanha. Em 2006, o público foi recorde: mais de 60.000 pessoas do mundo inteiro.^[1]

A primeira edição do festival aconteceu em 1990 e envolveu apenas bandas relativamente desconhecidas alemãs. Atualmente, o casting costuma ser formado principalmente por conjuntos da Escandinávia e da Europa em geral, mas bandas brasileiras, australianas e americanas, dentre outras, também já estiveram presentes.

[editar] Comida e bebida

A área do Wacken Open Air é rodeada por pequenos quiosques que servem comida e bebida. Há várias possibilidades. Dentro do quesito comida, algumas das mais famosas são as batatas fritas, os salsichões, pizza e macarrão do tipo yakisoba. Já a bebida mais apreciada dentro do Wacken é, sem dúvida, a cerveja, servida em copos com capacidade para até 1 litro. Os preços costumam ser caros.

[editar] O Metal Battle

O Metal Battle é um evento dentro do Wacken que dá oportunidade a várias bandas relativamente pequenas de tocar em um festival de grande porte como o Wacken. Foi assim que os conjuntos brasileiros Tuatha de Danann e Malefactor, em 2005 e 2006, respectivamente, tiveram a oportunidade de entrar no festival. Trata-se de uma espécie de competição. As bandas tocam em um palco menor, dentro de uma área coberta, por um período de cerca de 20 minutos, perante uma banca de juízes, geralmente formada por jornalistas especializados. O vencedor ganha um contrato com a Armaggedon Music e é homenageado no palco principal, antes da atração da terceira e última noite do evento.
