According to a news item on the Wacken site, pre-sale of normal “all in” tickets start next week. There will also be a band announcement.

Excited, much?

Which bands could possibly top the 2008 lineup? This is the 20th anniversary year – no doubt they’ll want to make it special. Iron Maiden was a pretty big deal (even though I have issues with that choice which I have not blogged yet but will eventually). Some people are saying Judas Priest. Some are saying Saxon (who have hardly missed a year in the entire festival’s history). Some people are saying Manowar but I can’t tell if they’re joking or not – because I’m not directly German by birth, I have no comprehension of Manowar. (Seriously, I don’t get it. If anyone can explain, please do).

Whoever they have, I really am not concerned – we’ll be there flying the Aussie flag regardless.
