[StragOvariuS]

OmFG! almost 2 months after the 2005 festival, they're already doing the 2006??!!?!?!? Thats FUCKING ROX!

Maybe in the next millenium we will have a Wacken-style festival in south america.

[Beast_Pete]

They already announced some bands during WOA 2005. For example: Children of Bodom. I'll be there next year as well, so if some other ForumSpammers come as well, we could rent a camping place together and conquer Wacken as well!

[htcdude]

Hahahaaaaa Engary takes Wacken!! I'm hoping to go, gotta find out what's happening that weekend though as i know other things go on around then.

[Dave]

i hope i'll come, too

yeah.. let's open an engary tent

I'm waiting them to confirm Blind Guardian. That would be almost the only reason to go.

[neonlightchild]

Soilwork and COB hell yeah!

[Beast_Pete]

You can be 99% sure, that Blind Guardian comes. You can really be sure.

[htcdude]

I heard the rumour was that BG are playing Bloodstock.

[Patricia]

Maybe we'll have Angra or Shaaman?
It would be could to have one of them.

[htcdude]

Angra are awesome live i saw them this year, haven't heard much Shaaman (Korpiklaani) but what i have heard i do like.

[Patricia]

I talked about the brasilian band Shaaman with Andre Matos on vocals, and not Korpiklaani who was the band who changed of name, if i remember right.
Yes Angra is a great band. I've seen them 3 times (1 with the original line-up, and 2 others with the new).

[MetalAngel]

Some rumours say that Iron Maiden will do the Wacken next year...I don't know if it's true, but it would be great!

[Twilight Legionnaire]

I'm waiting them to confirm Blind Guardian. That would be almost the only reason to go.

Well, not the ONLY reason, but it'd definitely be worth 25% of the reasons at least

If not, there will probably be another Blind Guardian Open Air Festival

[Beast_Pete]

Emperor is reuniting in Wacken next year.

[ElDiablo]

Emperor is reuniting in Wacken next year.

Yeah, well that's as good reason as Blind Guardian, some I'm there.

[Babylon]

Soilwork and COB hell yeah!

If everything goes as planned, I'll be seeing them both in about a month

[Warrior of Hell]

i guess strato will be there too..

[Beast_Pete]

I'm not sure about Stratovarius. There's a rule, that they don't ask a band to come, only in every second year. But I don't know, what about Special Surprise Acts. Who knows, maybe they'll be asked to come too.

In 2003 Saxon was the suprise act and then they played a full festival set in 2004. Don't remember though what was the suprise act in 2004 and if they played this year...

[htcdude]

By the way, going back to this Stratovarius forumers getting a site thing, is anyone actually gonna organise this or it not gonna happen?

[Electric Eye]

as regard confirmed ones, nothing interesting yet

let's talk about that next year

[Electric Eye]

CANNIBAL CORPSE
BORN FROM PAIN
KORPIKLAANI
END OF GREEN

[MetalAngel]

Only black and death metal bands...that sucks!

[nepi]

In Extremo? Sounds blacky but isn't blacky

I think there will be more non-black metal bands confirmed through next few weeks.

I know that IE isn't a black metal band. It's a folk metal one. But, I don't really like it, too cliché.

[Beast_Pete]

Thid is the black year, so mostly black metal bands are confirmed. But believe me, we will get some true metal ones too.

[MetalAngel]

I hope. It would be cool if Maiden played on Wacken. But, this is only a dream...

[Electric Eye]

Gamma Ray
Orphaned Land
Aborted
Primal Fear
Wintersun
Ektomorf
Atheist
Bloodthorn

finally, some reasons to go there: Gamma Ray and Primal Fear!
