The W:O:A team wishes you a happy Easter 2026

Dear Metalheads,

First of all, we wish you all a Happy Easter!

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.

Don't have a ticket for the 35th anniversary yet? GET YOURS HERE!

As another little treat, there's a mini Easter egg hunt on Wacken.com running until Tuesday. We've hidden three eggs on the homepage, each containing a piece of a solution phrase that you can enter into a form.

If you enter the 3 solution words into the form (after login to THE CORE), you can earn Wacken Points for THE CORE. Everyone who enters the solution phrase correctly will receive Wacken Points.

Don't know what THE CORE is? Then click here to register!

We wish you a lot of fun with the egg hunt and besides that all that's left for us to do is wish you, your families and friends a wonderful time. We'll see you all again next week, refreshed and ready to go. And who knows – maybe there will be a few more surprises waiting for you after Easter!

Your
W:O:A Team
