About the number of people working to make that festival happen, it tells you a bit about a habit shared by quite a few Germans: No half measures. If something is worth being done it is also worth being done PROPERLY. Also if you go there next year maybe have a chat with the guys and gals working security there if it isn't too busy. That job is woefully underrated for what they do and as someone who has worked in security for years I can tell you this much: Being given a feeling of genuine appreciation in that job is rare and accordingly highly cherished when it does happen. That way you can bring them a bit of enjoyment - basically letting them in on the overall enjoyment of the festival. Because most of the times being security at an event means you don't get to enjoy it yourself due to work requirements.

Hello Eric, as an old man who has already had a few parties in der Kuhle, I can recommend the following place. Just before the entrance to the inner field there is a small hill. From there you can already feel the sound and you have a good overview of the inner field. Have fun next year in Wacken and wish for rain rather than dryness. You can find the dust in places where you didn't even know that air would get there.

It's like a reset or resurrection of your soul. Hope to meet you there next year! I'ld really like to drink a beer with you! Cheers! [P.S.: tickets in 2003 was 50€ for 3 days incl. camping].

Yeah, it was cool to go there.... No, it is not a US thing but mostly a youtube thing. It was learned very early on that yt began putting restrictions on videos talking about the pandemic. Their algorithm just searched for words, so if someone would mention the virus by name in a video it was immediately flagged. Nothing that the viewer sees. I had one video talking about it and we removed it. Then withing a couple videos i mentioned the "zombie apocalypse " when referring to it. But there are millions of people on yt talking about it and i want try best to create content that is more interesting.

@@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany Usually, KZitem puts an info banner below the videos it detects as related to "human malware", recommending to search for information at some official sources like the WHO or the BzgA (here in Germany). I find this quite useless, since using the word once or twice alone doesn't make it an information video about the pandemic and since even the WHO makes a lot of doubtful descisions these days (and most other official sources just copy from them), I would not recommend them as the only source of information anyway.

Actually, that is not the beer pipeline. It´s a drainage system to get rid of excessive water that can occur and makes the infield really muddy sometimes. The beer pipeline is more like a thick garden hose, which is buried just shortly before the festival and is removed after.

75'000 metal freaks in Wacken? Sounds like Baby Metal Festival to me. I went to hellfest in France since 2013 and the average fan count 130'000. Ok later you mentioned 400'000 for the whole Festival days which sounds then larger than the one in 🇫🇷. But I heard before only about 80 to 100 bands and Hellfest has over a 150 to 160 bands every year. Comment to tell me what is more true. Thanks

What difference does it make if really successful bands like Metallica, Nightwish or Sabaton have played at Wacken? And Kiss was never in the line-up. Fact was when 7 years ago Wacken had only 4 stages for all the bands Hellfest had already 7 stages and one pre-party stage near the campsite. Daytickets or not, so what? This gives the fans and Festival more freedom to see what they want and get more fans to travel and not being forced to watch bands that you don't want to see.
