Wacken Rocks Brazil - Brazilian Edition In 2009
During the August 2nd Press Conference on Wacken Open Air 2008, it was announced that the festival will have its first date outside Germany.
On 2009, when Wacken goes to its 20th Anniversary, the first Brazilian edition of the festival will go live, by a partnership between Wacken, Atos Entretenimento and Roadie Crew magazine, both Brazilian companies.
The festival will have the name of WACKEN ROCKS BRAZIL, and São Paulo (SP) will host it on May 16th and 17th 2009.
Thomas Jensen, one of the owners of "Wacken", commented during the press conference about the Brazilian edition: "There are talks happening to bring Wacken spirit to different places in the world, like Australia, but the first festival with the name 'Wacken" outside Gernamy will take place in Brazil on May 2009, and will be know as "Wacken Rocks Brazil". We have here our Brazilian partners, and we have just signed the contract between ICS-WOA, ATOS and Revista Roadie Crew", answering an australian reporter question.
Before that, Dennis Schunke from Van Canto just confirmed the information, and added that Van Canto is the first band confirmed to the event.

I've heard rumors about this before. I guess this means no more Brazilian chicas in the original Wacken

FINALLY! the year Ill be going back to brazil I get to experience Wacken, how great is that? I truly think Brazil deserves being the first country (other than Germany) to host Wacken, and they couldnt have picked a better city for it! Im really looking forward for this event!

Well this might have the Wacken name on it, but you are all writing as if they are going to airlift the German site over to Brazil and it will be exactly the same as the German one. It would be interesting to see how this Brazilian one goes, but I think it will be a lot different to the ones in Germany.

My concerns are about the festival location. There are not cooler places as Wacken to support it. My best guess is Interlagos, which holds the F1 Grand Prix in Brazil. Or maybe they push it to the countryside. It would be cooler.

Written by Juliana on 13.08.2008 at 04:07 It's nothing to do with the bands, it is to do with the festival atmosphere in Germany and the (mostly European) people that go there. Over in Brazil the atmosphere will be different because all the people going will be different, I am not saying it will be better or worse - just different.

Does Any one knows exactly when it will be released? I've read May 16th and 17th here. May 17th and 18th in the events section, wich is unprobable, beacause May 18th is a monday! And in [url]wacken.com[/url] there is an banner showing it as May 09th and 10th! And there's no official page about this... Showing the possible bands, the maps to get there, near hostels and stuff like that!
