Wacken Open Air 2026

Das Wacken Open Air 2026 ist das größte Heavy-Metal-Festival der Welt und verwandelt das kleine Dorf Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein wieder in die Hauptstadt des Metal. Auf Stages wie Faster, Louder und der Headbangers Stage spielen über mehrere Tage unzählige Bands. Mit dem Wacken Planer behältst du das komplette Line-Up, die Running Order und den Spielplan im Blick: Bewerte alle Bands, erstelle aus dem Programm deine persönliche Running Order mit allen Set Times, löse Überschneidungen und koordiniere den Zeitplan mit deiner Crew. So verpasst du 2026 keine deiner Lieblingsbands.
