Just a couple more weeks to go before the small village of Wacken once again becomes the global hotspot for metalheads. So it's time to sort out your festival plans, because the official running order for Wacken Open Air 2025 is now online!
You’ll find two versions on the Wacken website: one for the full music lineup and one including all supporting events and activities. And in the official Wacken app, you can filter and customize your very own running order by day and stage.
Check out the music schedule here and the full program overview here.
Even though W:O:A officially starts on July 30, the pre-festival program already kicks off on July 27. So if you’re arriving early, you’ll get to enjoy the first events on the LGH Clubstage and Welcome to the Jungle Stage, with the Wasteland Stage opening the following day.
Tickets sold out – but there’s still hope
