Wacken Open Air (zkratkou W:O:A) je jeden z největších metalových festivalů na světě a jeden z největších open-air festivalů v Německu. Festival, který vznikl roku 1990, se pořádá v malém městě Wacken, v severoněmecké zemi Šlesvicko-Holštýnsko. Tento hodně navštěvovaný (v letech 2011–2015 byl počet účastníků asi 85 000 lidí, z toho 75 000 platících) svátek tvrdé muziky přivádí každoročně fanoušky metalové hudby nejenom z celé Evropy, ale i z Asie, Austrálie a Ameriky.

Každoročně po tři dny obvykle v srpnu se zde představí více než 60 kapel z celého světa na 6 pódiích. Během festivalu je k dispozici rozsáhlá plocha pro auta i stany. Hudební styly slyšitelné na festivalu jsou zejména: heavy metal, thrash metal, power metal, death metal, black metal, folk metal, gothic metal, metalcore, hardcore a další. Mezi nejznámější kapely vystupující na W:O:A patří např.: Rammstein, Judas Priest, Dimmu Borgir, Twisted Sister, Saxon, Warlock, Satyricon, Nightwish, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Slayer, Slipknot, Arch Enemy a mnoho dalších.

Dějiny

Nápad na vytvoření festivalu vznikl v roce 1989, kdy spolu dva přátelé z městečka Wackenu, Thomas Jensen a Holger Hübner, navštívili restauraci. Jensen už za sebou měl jakousi hudební historii; hrál na basovou kytaru v rockové kapele s názvem Skyline. Kapela Skyline byla od svého založení až do roku 1992 kromě T. Jensena obsazena následovně: Ines Jeskeová z Vaale (zpěv), Peter Huhn z Wackenu (elektrická kytara), Dennis Harman z Itzehoe (klávesy) a Andreas Göser z Wackenu (bicí). Skyline byla v té době jednou z prvních regionálních metalových kapel. Kapela byla celostátně poměrně známá, vystupovala ve vesnických hospodách, na motorkářských srazech a na koncertech jako předkapela skupiny Extrabreit. Hübner byl diskžokej, zaměřující se na rock a heavy metal. Jensen s Hübnerem dostali nápad, že by zorganizovali na štěrkovně ve Wackenu open air koncert, a přesvědčili bubeníka Andrease Gösera a Jörga Jensena, bratra Thomase, aby se k podniku přidali. Jáma byla používána motocyklovým klubem „No Mercy“ jako místo pro setkání s kapacitou až 3000 lidí, takže to pro jejich plány bylo velmi výhodné; mohli zpočátku přilákat i motocyklové fanoušky.

Od začátku bylo pořadatelům zřejmé, že chtějí na rozdíl od tehdejších jednodenních festivalů, jako Monsters of Rock nebo Super Rock v Mannheimu, vícedenní metalový festival a musí tudíž na místě zajistit podmínky pro kempování návštěvníků.
