Description
Every year, at the end of July and beginning of August, the small town of Wacken in northern Germany transforms from a peaceful, idyllic farming community into the host of the world's largest, loudest, and most passionate heavy metal festival, entertaining more than 85,000 people from all corners of the globe. Wacken Open Air has never been "just" a festival... For over a quarter of a century, it has been a lifestyle, an event, and a community comparable to those found at festivals like Glastonbury in England and Burning Man in the USA. As festival founders Thomas Jensen and Holger Hübner always say: "Wacken is about music and lifestyle." With over 200 pages full of color and high-quality black and white photographs, as well as quotes from the people who created Wacken and even the performing artists themselves, THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF WACKEN gets to the very heart, the spirit and driving force, and the incredible community of this extraordinary event, which has now been going strong for 26 years.
