Wacken Open Air (W:O:A) is one of the biggest summer open-air heavy metal music festivals in Europe and in the world. It takes place annually in the small village of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. With 80,000 festival visitors, and including personnel a total of roughly 86,000 attendees in 2011, it attracts metalheads from all over the world.

The festival was first held in 1990 as a small event for local German bands. W:O:A is usually held at the beginning of August and lasts three days.

The festival organizes also a contest for unsigned bands – Metal Battle that allows young bands to promote themselves. Metal Battle grew and more than 40 countries joined the competition. Countries like Canada, Mexico, South Africa, the Middle East, Bulgaria, China, Japan (just to name a few) entered this worldwide network to figure out one band that represents their local scene at the international final round at the Wacken Open Air.
