WACKEN OPEN AIR Warm Up Party Lands In Sydney This April

Wacken Open Air is one of the most recognisable names in heavy music anywhere on the planet. Now in its 35th year, the legendary German festival has become a global meeting point for metal fans, bands and industry alike. A place where the underground and the established stand shoulder to shoulder.

On April 18, the spirit of Wacken lands in Sydney.

As part of a worldwide celebration marking 35 years of Wacken, 35 official Warm Up shows will take place across the globe on the same day, stretching from Europe and the UK through Asia, the Americas and Australia. Sydney will host one of only a handful of events in the southern hemisphere, bringing a piece of the Wacken experience to local soil while connecting with a truly international metal community.

Taking place at Sydney’s Crowbar, the night will be co-headlined by Our Last Enemy and Witchgrinder
and rounded out by Küntsquäd, Shatterface and Age of Emergence. Get your Early Birds Tickets HERE
