Metal Battle Winner - Germany & Czech Republic
Finally Germany has announced it´s finalist taking part at the Metal Battle international finals in Wacken! Vice from Berlin have catched themselves on against the rivalry and won the pre-finals at the Rockharz Open Air. Now they will try their best to represent Germany worthy at the international finals in Wacken.
Dymytry is the name of the just chosen winner of the Czech Metal Battle finals. The group, somehow looking a bit like a Predator, plays a solid mix of industrial, thrash and core and will bring the audience to a boil in their own ways.
Wacken goes wireless!
As first of all festivals ever and as a small world premiere, the Wacken Open Air offers it´s visitors the possibility to surf the web with a notebook, i-phone etc. at the entire festival grounds, equally if it´s in front the stages or on the camping grounds. That doesn´t only mean surfing nearby a few dedicated hotspot´s but surfing in every corner of the whole festivalarea. Such an offer on a festival never existed before!
For just 9 euro you will get access with our 5-Day-WLAN-Festivalflat-Ticket for the whole duration of the festival. That means from Wednesday to Sunday.
