For those of you that dont know, wacken is the greatest music festival on earth. There is no other festival that has such a large beer hall, or a section dedicated to viking and medievil stuff! Plus you get to camp next to your car (Thats one of the reasons i am renting a van rather then driving the 350!)
Maiden played there last year and thin lizzy (the bits that are still alive anyway!) were due to play there this year untill the split up.
