As a result, Wacken Rocks South in Kreuth/Rieden has also to be postponed to August 27th to 29th, since all artists were booked to appear at both events. The organisers explain:

\"Due to the strong demand for tickets, the local authorities of Aurich have changed the legal requirements on short notice. As a result, both the festival ground and the camping area cannot be used as planned. For the reorganisation that has now become necessary, additional areas are needed - but are not available, since they are in agricultural use during May.\"

The festival organisers kindly ask for your understanding and will make up for it by getting additional high class acts and surprises on the bill. For starters, Doro has confirmed her participation. Of course, all tickets remain valid.

Biohazard, Dezperadoz, Girlschool, Heaven Shall Burn, Holy Moses, Stratovarius, and Uli Jon Roth are among the artists already confirmed.

More details and complete billing plus running order are available on www.wacken.com and www.wackenrocks.com.

About the Wacken Rocks festivals
German summer festival Wacken Open Air (WOA) has three little brothers now: Wacken Rocks Seaside and Wacken Rocks South, along with Wacken Rocks Berlin.

These events are run by the very people that work on the big festival in the village of Wacken itself.

Wacken Rocks Seaside or South - after the postponement to the last weekend in August - will nicely round off the festival season…
