Sydney's Crowbar to Host Wacken Warm Up Party On April 18. Celebrating 35 Years of Wacken Open Air

On April 18, the spirit of Wacken lands in Sydney.

‍

As part of a worldwide celebration marking 35 years of Wacken, 35 official Warm Up shows will take place across the globe on the same day, stretching from Europe and the UK through Asia, the Americas and Australia. Sydney will host one of only a handful of events in the southern hemisphere, bringing a piece of the Wacken experience to local soil while connecting with a truly international metal community.

‍

Taking place at Sydney's Crowbar, the night will be co-headlined by Our Last Enemy and Witchgrinder

‍and rounded out by Küntsquäd, Shatterface and Age of Emergence

‍

For one day, borders disappear. Scenes connect. The underground stands united.

‍

While the festival unfolds each year in the small German town of Wacken, its reach has always extended far beyond those wide open fields. These Warm Up shows are a reminder of just how global heavy music is and how connected its communities remain regardless of geography.
