hell bent for metal

Dear Organ­is­ers of Wacken Open Air,

Guys, I know you’re busy. Hell, it’s the 20th anniver­sary – no doubt you have a lot of shit to sort out. How­ever, we’re a lit­tle over four months out from the main event and there’s only been 32 bands announced. That means there’s at least 30 or 40 announce­ments to go.

Some other big fes­ti­vals like HellFest have already announced full lists and let’s face it, they’re mas­sive. I realise that you sold out all tick­ets months and months ago so you don’t need to entice pun­ters to buy but there’s some of us that are feel­ing a lit­tle bit put out. You don’t want us peeps that are trav­el­ling half way around the world to start think­ing we’ve picked the wrong festival.

Some bands have all but announced that they will be there and that’s great (Dev­ildriver for one). But they wouldn’t need to if you’d just feed a lit­tle bit more info out to the media.

If you’re still try­ing to finalise stuff, here’s a hot tip: GET GOJIRA. You won’t be dis­ap­pointed I promise. Don’t worry about Saxon and Manowar.

Kind Regards,
The Goat­lady.
