Wacken Open Air (W:O:A) est le plus grand festival au monde à être uniquement consacré au metal. Il se déroule tous les ans dans le petit village de Wacken en Allemagne. Il a attiré plus de 60 000 participants en 2006[1] venant du monde entier.

La première édition s'est tenu en 1990, à cette époque ce n'était qu'un petit rassemblement de groupe locaux allemands. En 1998, le festival est devenu majeur en Europe et est le plus important au niveau mondial, il ressemble alors plus de 70 groupes venant d'Europe, d'Amérique du Nord et d'Australie. W:O:A se déroule le premier weekend du mois d'août et dure trois jours, pendant lesquels les festivaliers campent sur le terrain entourant le festival lui même. Les prestations des groupes se déroulent sur quatre scènes séparées. Les éditions du W:O:A ont donné lieu à de nombreux concerts de groupes en reformation.
