WACKEN 202088

by **ACrook** on Tue Jul 03, 2007 1:56 pm

Ahh, what a marvellous announcement. Means I can see both Maiden's Powerslave Revival Tour thingy and all the great metal of Wacken without bankrupting myself and/or attending a shoddy British festival purely to see Maiden. I won't be letting out the liquids quite as much as jonny, but if they play Alexander the Great, I will probably urinate out of shock.

Have they said exactly what albums they're playing songs from? Is it just Powerslave, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, or...?

Yeah it will be, and apparently No Prayer as well. You know what that means? BRING YOUR DAUGHTER, TO THE SLAAAAAAAUGHTER!!

I have a small feeling that they may include Live After Death rather than NPFTD in the next four albums, so they can cheat and get Number of the Beast, Iron Maiden and Hallowed Be Thy Name on the setlist...

But if they do include NPFTD what does that mean? That the history tour part 3 will be songs from Fear Of The Dark and the Blaze albums? Because that would seriously be one of the worst tours ever.

I will not be standing anywhere near you then.

I just hope they don't bollocks it all up with booking bands like BFMV, but actually go through with it... That trivium rumour from ages ago is still burning my brain...

Well due to all the hate mail they got i think they may rethink that....or just put them on to be bottled off pretty quickly by disgruntled Germans

You should go, it'll make you sex wee on a German.

its a great start to the 08 lineup but its early days for me to say whether i'll go again or not, went last year and i loved it, i'm going this year and i'm sure i'll love it again but i still wish i went to hellfest instead this year, the lineup was much better but i hadn't even heard of it until i had allready booked wacken.

I would like to go some time but can't afford it and am in ill health right now. Really I want to go to Keep It True. Looks much better next year!

by **Steve** on Wed Jul 11, 2007 11:30 am

Apparently Hammerfall, Amon Amarth, Lordi and Machine Head have also been confirmed for 2008 :doh:

Hopefully next year I'll be off to Wacken for the first time....

that's the third year in a row I've said that
