			<title>Heavy garbage-„management“ – METAL 4 NATURE!</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[An effort in the name of the environment is a crucial aspect and will be emphasized at W:O:A. By conducting various projects we intend to reduce the waste of 70.000 metal fans and dispose of the garbage  separately. In association with the TU-Berlin and Ecocontrolling company we have already charted the particularly critical areas across the entire festival terrain. Based on a comprehensive waste survey we are able to measure results of the individual sanctions. In addition to that and in association with Natural American Spirit we will present an innovative package comprising a few projects which are supposed to raise an evironmental awareness. Out of respect for the environment make a contribution and dispose of the trash you have created.

- Owing to a mutual effort involving all parties we have been able to reduce the waste emergence for the greatest extent.

- This is an appeal to develop an environmentally friendly behaviour: We urge you to leave nature behind like you want to encounter and find it yourself

- Trash-bags, made of reclaimed rubber will be provided

- Places to dispose of waste will be established close to footpaths. “Garbage rangers”  will accept full trash-bags and additionally separate garbage according to individual recyclable material.

- Places for glass disposal are located next to the entrance in the stage area

- 10% of the festival area will be transformed into “clean-zones” and are    supposed to be kept clean with your coorperation. Our aim is to motivate people to participate and to dispose their garbage at the existing disposal stations.Parts of trash will be sorted on the spot.

- Altogether we expect considerable residual waste reduction and we will be able to minimize the cleaning effort. Subsequently, the area can be used for agricutural purposes once things are back to normal in “Wacken”.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Dear Metalheads

Unfortunately we have to prepare you for some bad news. The following statement is firsthand from “Thin Lizzy” guitarist, Scott Gorham:

“It´s been a very tough time of late for myself and the band, firstly with drummer Tommy Aldridge´s injury and now the subsequent decision for John and the rest of the group to go their separate ways. I can only apologize to everyone who has supported us over the years, but we will be back up to full speed soon.”

Scott Gorham is planning to announce information regarding future plans for “Thin Lizzy” shortly. Shows confirmed for 2009 will be cancelled or postponed until further notice, including  the performance at W:O:A 2009.

Yours, W:O:A team

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Dear Metalheads

When and where people gather to celebrate music they tend to generate an awful lot  of garbage. Natural American Spirit an eco-associate at W:O:A is going to present an innovative concept which is supposed to urge and motivate people to dispose any kind of trash on the terrain of the festival out of respect of the environment. Convenient side-effect:due to the mutual effort  garbage emergence on the grounds can be reduced considerably.

The Natural American Spirit Team will conduct the following actions at the W:O:A:

•	Appeal for an environmetally friendly behaviour

•	Garbage bags consisting of reclaimed rubber are being provided

•	Places to dispose of waste will be established close to footpaths. “Garbage rangers”  will accept full trash-bags and additionally separate garbage according to individual recyclable material.

•	Even at the several smoking lounges across the festival area the entire garbage will be separated

•	every VW-bus in service wil exclusively use bio-ethanol with immediate effect



Thank you for your coorporation

Yours sincerely
W:O:A

			<title>LIVEDOWNLOADS + WACKEN MP3 STICK</title>

Dear Metalheads,

Two big news for you: For the first time we can present you special live-recordings of selected band-performances with a complete professional editing, only available in MP3 size!
To get on of those MP3 shows you have to buy a downloadcard during the festival. With the code on the downloadcard you are able to download the performance of your choice at a later date.

The other big news is that you can buy a very special MP3 stick with a bullit-design exclusively at the W:O:A (Black or Gold).
Wacken-founder Holger Hübner: “Offering fans the opportunity to take home a live recording of their favorite band immediately after the show is just fantastic. We are very pleased to be able to give Wacken concertgoers the chance this year to take home the Festival Stick, which I think is a very innovative product. This is also a logical extension of the range of monetization opportunities and fan services we offer all heavy-metal fans, such as the festival DVD and CD, webcams, online live streaming, Wacken Radio and an IPTV channel on Rockalarm.com.”

The downloadcard will be available for 12.50 €, the stick for 10 € and the bundle for 20 €!

Your
W:O:A Team
