Party On with Sabaton at W:O:A 2026!

The Power Metal band returns to the Holy Ground in all their glory. 

What does that mean exactly? Sabaton will perform at Wacken Open Air 2026!

The Swedish heroes led by frontman Joakim Brodén are back to carve yet another unforgettable show into the history books of Wacken — together with you.

But that’s not all. Today, we’re also releasing the full daily lineups, giving you a first overview to start planning your festival experience — until the complete running order is revealed soon.

And we’re still not done. For those of you who, for various reasons, can’t attend the full W:O:A week, we’ve come up with something new.

You know the situation:

Your vacation request didn’t get approved, your final university exam is scheduled for Thursday — and W:O:A is already in full swing.

Sure, you could arrive on Friday — but chances are you’d end up camping far away from the infield.

To solve this, we’re introducing the “Last Resort” Camping which will be accessible with Access Passes for Friday and Saturday.

This pass guarantees you a camping spot closer to the infield, even if you arrive later on Friday.

All information can be found here!

With this wave of good news, we’ll send you off into the weekend.

Still don't have a ticket? Get your LOUDER-TICKET here!

As a small token of our appreciation for your loyalty, all ticket holders with a valid W:O:A 2026 ticket will be entered into a special prize draw. A THE PIT upgrade for two people will be raffled off among all Metalheads who have a valid W:O:A 2026 ticket by April 19, 2026 (this also includes all those who purchased tickets since August). The winner will be contacted directly after April 19th.

See you in Wacken — Party On!

Your 

W:O:A Team
