Another first-timer is 2Cellos. The two Croatian musicians are extremely versatile and use to mix AC/DC and Iron Maiden with Bach and Vivaldi at their shows!
Looking for some Hardcore? Ondt Blod from Norway is here to serve! The band just released it's second album and it turned out great - check it out! Heavy Rock for outlaws and bikers is what Blessed Hellride is about, and they are known for great concerts!
Dirt-A-Gogo adds some Rockabilly with Hard Rock to the lineup and Plainride will present their Stoner Rock ´n` Roll at Wacken. Need some more punk? No problem! Der Wahnsinn and The Bloodstrings are playing some heavy punk music.
