Wacken Open Air To Be Postponed Once More
Written by Johnson Stephen on June 2, 2021
The promoters of Wacken Open Air Festival have announced that due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the edition planned for the end of July 2021 will not be able to take place as scheduled.
The 31st edition of the cult festival will therefore take place from 04 to 06 August 2022.
Thomas Jensen [pictured left], boss and founder of the festival explains “We bleed our hearts! All visitors, musicians and the entire crew have put all their hopes on being able to celebrate together again in July 
2021, but, we have no other choice but to wait a little longer. Health and safety have priority, there are no two opinions.”
His partner and co-founder Holger Hübner [pictured right] adds “Even if we were able to hold the festival, many people would still not be able to arrive as planned due to travel restrictions. We are an international festival with people travelling to Wacken from over 80 nations. A Wacken Open Air, that’s a festival for the whole world and for that we need open borders without quarantines plus we need safety for all people involved – especially for the people living in the Wacken region.”
However, music fans do not have to completely give up on music in Wacken for the year 2021. The organizers are currently exploring ideas for a live music format this autumn, but are asking for a little bit of patience while they develop the concept.
