It’s that time of the year, right? A few days prior to the even, Wacken Open Air contacted us once again, to let us know that, once again, we are accepted to cover the festival as accredited media.

Since WOA is only the biggest Heavy Metal festival in the world and the most legendary one, we naturally feel proud and fulfilled. Eva, our amazing German correspondent, will wear her shades and visit the holy lands beyond Hamburg, to witness the live appearances of Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Europe, In Flames and the whole bunch.

Keysmash is thrilled and… you know what… Since Wacken, Hellfest and similar volume festival grant us accreditation… you never know… we might even get same benefits in our homeland as well. Have a blast, Eva!

Yeah, I know… WOA ’26 T-shirt will be replacing the image soon.
