Germany's premiere 'Metal' festival has just happened over the last weekend.

75,000 fans descended on the village over the weekend dwarving the local population of 1,800.

There are some pictures here (some contain mild nudity)

Hats off to the great Thomas Jensen without whom Wacken would most likely never have happened!

What an amazing run of festivals, 19 on the trot, not even Glastonbury or Monsters of Rock can match that!

The Germans it seem love it!

Might have to look at visiting there one day, although I have been saying that about Roskilde in Denmark for at least 10 years and still never been.
