Travel stop remains!

[Translate to Englisch:]
Created by WackenHelge

The travel stop for the Wacken Open Air must unfortunately remain in place. Due to this extraordinary situation, please refrain from further journeys to Wacken.

We apologize to all metalheads for the delayed information. We are in constant, cooperative exchange with all relevant authorities and responsible persons in order to continue to ensure the safety of fans, employees and all people in the region.

Due to the persistently difficult weather conditions with rainfall amounts of approximately 40 liters per square meter in the last 24 hours, and the resulting condition of the camping areas, event areas and the access roads, the areas could not be filled at a sufficient speed.

Unfortunately, according to the meteorologists present on site, massive rain and possible thunderstorms are still to be expected at any time and on a continuing basis.

Currently, we are working off the vehicles that are still temporarily parked in traffic jams or on external and private areas. We have to tow each vehicle individually to the targeted parking space with a tractor, which takes a lot of time for every single vehicle. All tractors are in continuous use day and night on all areas.

We decide from hour to hour and ask for your understanding for this extremely difficult situation. You support us the most if you stay at home now.
