Unless you can get in line when the Wacken merchandise stands open on the Wednesday afternoon before the festival official starts, your chances of getting the Wacken tshirt of your choice in your size (unless you’re an XL man) start to dive pretty rapidly.

Flip Flops
Or, as we prefer to call them, thongs. Question is, can the Germans be trusted to make cheap thongs with the same precision as the Aussies? Mind you they probably all come out of the same factory in China.
