After a two-year break, the WOA 2022 will take place in Schleswig-Holstein. Performances by selected heavy metal bands will be streamed live from August 3rd to 6th.
The heavy metal festival Wacken Open Air (WOA) returns from the corona break. From August 4th to 6th and before that with an additional day (Wacken Wednesday) on August 3rd, the village in Schleswig-Holstein will once again become a mecca for metalheads. Headliners are the groups Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Judas Priest and Powerwolf. But even those who cannot or do not want to be there can at least experience a series of concerts live on the Internet.
Wacken 2022: Telekom live streams
Telekom broadcasts the world’s largest heavy metal festival on its MagentaTV streaming service and offers a free live stream on MagentaMusik. The group is thus building on the pre-Corona period, when it was already showing live streams from Wacken. At Rock am Ring, on the other hand, where MagentaTV also streamed live, Telekom was not involved this year. In addition to the live performances, there will also be an accompanying program with interviews. There are a total of five stages on the festival site.
Telekom had already revealed some of the bands that will be streamed live: Bands like Tobias Sammet’s, Avantasia and Epica are to be seen on the Wednesday of the festival. On the three main days of the festival, the highlights of the Louder, Wet and Headbangers stages will be shown in an additional stream in addition to the performances on the Harder and Faster Stages.
