Overview
Review of the 34th Wacken Open Air 2025
The 34th edition of Wacken Open Air once again confirmed the festival's status as the premier destination for the international metal world. 85,000 fans from over 80 countries flocked to the village of Wacken at the end of July/beginning of August 2025 — over 150 bands on the main and special stages, the Wackinger Village as a medieval show, and the unmistakable festival village atmosphere once again characterized the four festival days.
As always, the festival sold out long before it began — even in its 35th year (planned for 2026), W:O:A remains the most sought-after ticket in the international metal scene. The organizers, led by ICS Festival Service GmbH (Wacken Festival GmbH), once again demonstrated in 2025 that their four decades of experience in logistics, safety, and program curation are unparalleled.
Prices
