Anticipation for Wacken rises - it's not just fans getting excited about it now
Wacken Open Air Festival to Feature Special Metal-Themed Postage Stamps
The Wacken Open Air festival, known as "the gates of hell" opening for metalheads, is set to take place in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany from July 30th. This significant event for the metal community is also set to feature a unique addition - metal-themed postage stamps.
Holger Hübner, one of the festival's co-founders, is proud of the new edition of Wacken Open Air stamps. Another co-founder, Thomas Jensen, expresses excitement about the international exchange that sending postcards from the festival will promote.
The stamps, featuring the iconic Wacken bull's head, will be available from July 25th. For those attending the festival, writing and sending postcards is a way to contribute to international exchange.
Benjamin Rasch, post marketing boss, is delighted about the collaboration between Wacken and the German Post Office. He sees it as a natural fit, likening it to heavy and metal music. There is a limited edition of 5000, 4-stamp sheets available in festival t-shirt design.
The official lineup is printed on the back of the limited edition sheets. The festival is expected to attract 85,000 metalheads and hundreds of bands. Sending Wacken post can be done for 95 cents for national post and 125 cents for worldwide metal greetings.
It's worth noting that while no specific details about a festival post office at Wacken Open Air 2022 were found in the provided data, previous years have seen similar initiatives organized during major festivals in Germany. For precise information, checking official Wacken Open Air communications or postal announcements from 2022 would be necessary.
