It’s the world’s largest outdoor metal festival, held since 1990 in the Wacken region of northern Germany. It’s a hugely popular event that has sold out every year since 2007, but it began as a small gathering started by a local band called SKYLINE. Several Japanese acts have performed there in the past, so it’s a recommended festival to visit from Japan as well.
