“One World One Stage”
35 shows will take place in 35 countries on a single day.
On 18 April, 35 Wacken warm-up concerts will rock the globe! Almost 24 hours will pass between the first show in Japan and the last in Mexico – all of them fulled by the best heavy metal music with celebrating fans coming together for this special event. A live experience carried by the legendary Wacken spirit.
The worldwide party is being organized by various promoters from the global community of the Wacken Metal Battle, the festival’s own band competition, which now includes 102 participating
nations. Promoters from 35 of these countries have joined forces for the Wacken anniversary to celebrate the worldwide warm-up party. “The core idea is to bring the world together and unite it
through what we love most: music! That’s what the Metal Battle community stands for, that’s what we stand for, and that’s what Wacken Open Air has represented since day one,” emphasizes festival founder Thomas Jensen.
The South African event will take place at The Armchair Theatre in Observatory, Cape Town at 7pm and will feature the 2025 Wacken Metal Battle Africa winners, Halvar as Capetonian powerhouses We Kill Cowboys and you can expect Cape Town’s homies at Cape Town Metal Realm to spin some lekker tunes on the decks.
