W:O:A 2025 - Thursday Arrival Information

Another Day kicks off at the Holy Ground
The weather is significantly better today. With the sun coming out and mostly dry conditions.
Regular parking in Wacken unfortunately is no longer available for day visitors.
If you’re coming from the Hamburg area, please use public transport via HVV. Free shuttle buses will take you from Itzehoe station directly to the W:O:A bus terminal and back.
Driving in by car? Head straight to the new parking area at the former Prinovis site in Itzehoe (Störfischerstraße 4). Free shuttles run from there to the festival grounds.
Wacken United, Friends & Family, and crew with valid accreditation will find a new parking area at Bokelrehmerstraße. Follow the signs on site.
IMPORTANT
Once towed, vehicles cannot return to the festival grounds. Please use public transport, if possible.
Thanks for your cooperation, Metalheads. Your support keeps the festival roaring – see you out there!
