Today one British and two German bands join the lineup. Let’s clear the stage for….

The Brits of TESSERACT belong to the kind of musicians who can’t be satisfied with the status quo of their genre. The sound of TesseracT is idiosyncratic and eccentric. And magical, if you have the will to get into it. You should check them out!

Those who miss the old In Flames should check this! The German band NIGHT IN GALES was founded in 1995, at the same time as the rise of Melodic Death Metal. Their last visit in Wacken was back in 2001, but now they have returned powerfully with their new “The Last Sunsets”, which came out in early 2018.

It’s sheer madness how active HÄMATOM have been since their founding in 2004 – and their success proves them right! The Groove Metal monster plays bigger and bigger concerts and sells more and more records. And there is no end in sight yet!
