Held in small town in Germany, Wacken Open Air is THE headbanger’s heaven. Last year the festival pulled 60.000 people from all over the world, this year may be even more. Wacken Open Air was first held in 1990. In the early days W:O:A was a small event for local German bands. Nowadays W:O:A includes over 70 bands performing in separate stages.

This year Wacken includes absolutely great bands, such as Children of Bodom, Carcass, Ensiferum, Exodus, Soilwork and Stam1na. It is going to be a great party again. Below are the bands who have confirmed to play in Wacken Open Air in 2008. It is going to be a helluva good festival!
