New bands for the holy land
We are close to the end of band additions, only a few slots are still free at our running order – and many of them will be filled with this bands:
Oomph!
The versatile dark rock band Oomph! from Germany returns to W:O:A once again! It will be the fourth show at the festival and again the band will draw a huge crowd with finest earworms made in Germany.
Beyond The Black
The history of female fronted metal band Beyond The Black started at W:O:A 2014 with their first performance ever – you could describe this gig as their general rehearsal. Right now, the band has released their debut album which already entered the German charts at a high position.
Uli Jon Roth
He is a real legend when it comes to e-guitars: Uli Jon Roth. The famous musician currently released his new album Scorpions Revisited, a cover album which contains songs from his time with the famous German band.
Haudegen
We will again use the Metal Church (the church of Wacken) for a special concert with a very limited capacity. This year’s act will be Haudgegen, a sympathic German rock band, which will play at Wacken for the first time ever.
John Diva & The Rockets of Love
Hair metal at its finest: John Diva and his Rockets of Love will return to Wacken for the second time! The band will perform some of the biggest rock hits of a times live on stage, but they aren’t a classic cover band. In fact, John Diva was the main songwriter of the songs he plays with his band – containing hits like Rock You Like A Hurricane, Paradise City or Posion!
