Wet and sloppy conditions at the beginning: This describes the current weather scenario in Wacken - Wet and Muddy Beginnings: A Downpour Awaits
Wacken Open Air 2021: Rain, Thunder, and Rock
The much-anticipated Wacken Open Air festival is just around the corner, with over 85,000 music enthusiasts set to descend upon the small town of Wacken, northern Germany. However, the weather forecast for this year's event is shaping up to be a challenging one.
Despite the absence of a summer high-pressure system, a low-pressure area from Denmark is expected to move in at night, bringing rain and potentially thunderstorms with heavy downpours. Strong gusts with wind speeds of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour are also forecasted, which could make for a muddy experience on the festival grounds, especially in the main area, the Holy Ground, where mud battles are expected due to the rain.
The Holy Ground, the main area in front of the two main stages, will be opened in the afternoon, with Saltatio Mortis set to play in the evening. The festival's headliners, Guns N' Roses, will close the event, making it the final stop of their Europe and Middle East tour.
Joining Guns N' Roses on the lineup are a host of other acts, including the French band Gojira, the US rockers Papa Roach, Machine Head, Apocalyptica, and Michael Schenker. The Wacken Firefighters are also scheduled to perform at the start of the festival on Wednesday, adding an extra dose of excitement to the proceedings.
Despite the inclement weather, fans are undeterred, eager to experience the unique atmosphere of the festival, which is renowned for its camaraderie and spirit. With a diverse lineup and a challenging weather forecast, Wacken Open Air 2021 is shaping up to be an unforgettable event.
As always, it's advisable to check the official festival website for any updates on the weather and other important information. The rain is expected to ease off in the night to Thursday, but it will remain showery until Saturday, so be sure to pack accordingly.
