(antiMusic) Wacken Rocks festivals have announced a major change in plans. Not due to lack of interest which is killing other festivals but because of more interest than expected. Here is what the organizers had to say: Due to the strong demand for tickets, the local authorities of Aurich have changed the legal requirements on short notice. As a result, both the festival ground and the camping area cannot be used as planned. For the reorganisation that has now become necessary, additional areas are needed - but are not available, since they are in agricultural use during May.
For this reason, the organisers are forced to postpone the Wacken Rocks Seaside in Aurich from May 21st to 23rd to August 28th to 30th.
As a result, Wacken Rocks South in Kreuth/Rieden has also to be postponed to August 27th to 29th, since all artists were booked to appear at both events.
We kindly ask for your understanding and will make up for it by getting additional high class acts and surprises on the bill. For starters, DORO has confirmed her participation!
Of course, all tickets remain valid!
More details and the running order will follow during the next few days and will be available on www.wacken.com and www.wackenrocks.com.
