Wacken Foundation Camp 2016

This year, you will find the Foundation Camp on (Pos. # 20) directly next to the Beergardenstage and the Metal Market. We got some organisations, partners and companies from the previous years but we also got a hand full of new stuff which we would like to present you. Underneath you will find a list with which you get a quick overview of everything you can find and what we offer in the Foundation camp. A information list for the W:O:Art – Tent will be published separately.
