About the Download-reference: I wouldn't compare Download-Festival with Wacken Open Air, because the Download Line-Up is very similar to Germany's Rock Am Ring and both, Download and RaR have bands from the whole world of Rock and Heavy music, while the WOA has almost only Metal acts.
That's my opinion.

Sourced are needed for the "anounced" bands, seems like a lot of people are trying to spread rumours. Grinder0-0 21:19, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
How was Airbourne involved in 2008 if they were doing Mayhem Fest in America? I'm taking them out of the list. Llama lom ( talk) 19:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
They played on 31st July 2008, i was there. Probably worth putting it back in. George —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.208.94.8 ( talk) 12:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I re-added Airbourne because they definitely played on 31st July 2008, if you don't believe me - just look at the videos of the show at youtube Kai.hermann ( talk) 21:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Is there any way to find out official (or maybe some non-official, as in "coming from police, not Wacken staff") yearly attendance? It could be nice adding the numbers to each year's bands list. It would demonstrate the growth over years and etc. -Nomæd (Boris A.) ( user, talk, contribs) 10:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
The German Wikipedia article on Wacken has a table of attendance, number of bands, and ticket prices for each year. Kuddy ( talk) 15:34, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Plenty of bands claim on their MySpace / other "websites" to be playing that year, but few are listed on the official page. Who do we trust? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.224.79 ( talk) 19:11, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
Several bands, which had recently been announced on the official site, were removed in a recent revision just because they weren't on the Billing/Bands page. Wacken's webmaster is being lazy as of late and just posting new band confirmations in the news (including this huge update with seven band confirmations), while not updating the lineup proper. I'll be putting all those official confirmations back on the list if no one objects. Kuddy ( talk) 15:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
From now on, I will be adding any band to the 2010 W.E.T. Stage lineup that appears in the list of finalists on the Metal Battle results page, which is about as official as it gets. Kuddy ( talk) 07:21, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbzSWcRM9u0 Van Canto was there 2010 this evidence enough? >.> Testament ( talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.84.199 ( talk) 17:45, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Are Avantasia and Blind Guardian the headline acts? 83.67.39.175 ( talk) 14:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Propose to organise the headliners by year in seperate articles such as Mayhem Festival and Warped Tour. Any objections? --☣ EternalEclipse☣ TALK 01:55, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
following the German Wikipedia, Wacken is the name of a rural district and it's head Village, it is not a town. -- 46.142.41.127 ( talk) 10:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
A short introduction, then a pointless listing of what bands played there, which should be in its own article. ANY other information about statistics, reception, status and meaning for the HM scene, any figures are missing. Okay maybe the world can't ask much more than this from some mostly deaf, headbanging morons but the article shouldn't even be here in this pre-larval stage. 37.80.2.88 ( talk) 07:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Corvus Corax appeared at the Party Stage with Wadokyo. The whole performance is on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsBC0AO_zWg. Can someone who knows what they are doing add Wadokyo's name to the listings please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.25.168.153 ( talk) 14:36, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Is it me or this article has become VERY VERY subjective recently? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.80.58.93 ( talk) 02:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Is this some tourist information from the village of Wacken or an encyclopedic article? 17:40, 6 July 2017 (UTC) Fotiu ( talk)
I see they've disappeared. What about making a separate page on that?-- Berserkur ( talk) 12:14, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
