Recent discussions have led to the consensus that several members of this board would like to join together for Wacken next year. It may seem a bit early to start planning, given that this year's festival hasn't even taken place yet, but given that this promises to become a logistical challenge, I think we should begin planning as early as possible.
There is actually a much more pressing reason why we should make our decision to go there soon. Last year, tickets went on sale in August and were sold out in September.
My experience tells me that a ticket costs somewhere between 150 and 200 Euros (don't know what the price will be this year), and that having 200 Euros to spend on the festival grounds tends to be enough. Add to that some money to spend on food, drinks and other stuff to get for the campsite. In general, expect the entire thing to cost less than 500 Euros, minus travel costs, of course.
Nobody is confirmed for the lineup yet, but rumours have it that Black Sabbath may headline.
So, let's start out with the general question: Who would want to join in?
