The organizers of the annual Metal festival, Wacken Open Air, which will take place from July 30 to August 2, 2025, in Wacken, Germany, have announced that tickets are now sold out!

Today, Monday, September 30, 2024, the following message was posted on Wacken Open Air’s social media:

“Dear metalheads, It’s time to say thank you again! This year we celebrated the 33rd edition of the Wacken Open Air with you during best weather conditions and the new arrival concept also worked and took you all to the Holy Ground without any problems and traffic jams. Now we can also announce that Wacken Open Air 2025 is SOLD OUT and we are once again more than grateful for your endless support and trust!

All 85,000 tickets, both Faster & Harder tickets, are gone and that’s just crazy! You are the best fans in the world! We are incredibly proud to be able to put on the most spectacular metal event for all of you next year!”

Around 30% of the audience travels from other countries to attend the festival, which has been growing in popularity over recent years. Wacken Open Air usually does not announce its headliners before tickets go on sale.

The festival typically sells out within a few hours. However, this year, tickets sold out after nearly two months, which might raise concerns for the organizers regarding the upcoming festivals at the blessed grounds of Wacken and the bands they will feature…

So far, the confirmed bands for Wacken Open Air 2025 are:

MACHINE HEAD, SALTATIO MORTIS, PAPA ROACH, GOJIRA, APOCALYPTICA, SAXON, WITHIN TEMPTATION, DIMMU BORGIR, MINISTRY, MICHAEL SCHENKER (My Years With UFO), PEYTON PARRISH, BEYOND THE BLACK, CLAWFINGER, GRAVE DIGGER (Επετειακό Show για τα 45 Χρόνια), AUGUST BURNS RED, OBITUARY, WIND ROSE, BROTHERS OF METAL, TARJA & MARKO HIETALA, HANABIE, DECAPITATED, DESTRUCTION, CELESTE, ORANGE GOBLIN, ANGEL WITCH, DOMINUM, EXHORDER, NIGHT DEMON, MIMI BARKS, SEVEN SPIRES, CLOWNS, DOOL, CROWNSHIFT, MIDNIGHT.

Το φεστιβάλ επίσης δεν προσφέρει VIP πρόσβαση ή αναβαθμίσεις, και όλες οι αγορές αφορούν όλες τις ημέρες, καθώς η δυνατότητα μονοήμερων εισιτηρίων καταργήθηκε πριν από δύο δεκαετίες.

The festival also does not offer VIP access or upgrades, and all purchases are for the entire duration, as single-day tickets were eliminated two decades ago.
