Official release below.

After Wacken Rocks Brazil, the Brazilian spin-off of the famed Wacken Open Air in Germany had to be defered indefinitely, now also the two German spin-offs Wacken Rocks Seaside in Aurich, East Frisia and Wacken Rocks South in Rieden, Bavaria, which were supposed to take place in two weeks from now, had to be postponed to the end of August. According to the organizers this is due to the high ticket sales and the bureaucratic and infrastructural problems that go along with this. The entire statement reads as follows:

“Due to the strong demand for tickets, the local authorities of Aurich have changed the legal requirements on short notice. As a result, both the festival ground and the camping area cannot be used as planned. For the reorganisation that has now become necessary, additional areas are needed – but are not available, since they are in agricultural use during May.

For this reason, the organisers are forced to postpone the Wacken Rocks Seaside in Aurich from May 21st to 23rd to August 28th to 30th.

As a result, Wacken Rocks South in Kreuth/Rieden has also to be postponed to August 27th to 29th, since all artists were booked to appear at both events.

We kindly ask for your understanding and will make up for it by getting additional high class acts and surprises on the bill. For starters, Doro has confirmed her participation!

Of course, all tickets remain valid!”
