Wacken 2016 livestream coming up feat. full Iron Maiden set

It's this time of the year again! Wacken Open Air will soon start and celebrate three days of Heavy Metal music. For all those who cannot make it there or didn't had the chance to get their hands on one of the tickets that sold out quickly at the blink of the eye I've got good news. :-)

That's how live shows used to be recorded back in the analogue age. Good old VHS tape, I still love it.

Arte Concert has announced to stream a good amount of shows through a internet livestream. Amongst the bands that have been listed to have their shows included on the stream are metal legends Iron Maiden who will perform a extended set which will see them close the touring circuit for the "Book Of Souls World Tour".

But I'm also glad to see that smaller bands will also find the way on the screens of the users. Here's the schedule so far, all times are MEST.

Update 08.08.2016: If you missed out the whole thing don't worry. Most of the shows are currently up in the archive of Arte Concert as video on demand. But don't wait too long since these stuff mostly is only online for a limited time.

Update 04.08.2016: The playing times have slightly changed. Iron Maiden will do a shorter set, the same goes for Therapy? and one more show from 0:15-00:45 has been added. It's still not confirmed which act will be streamed at that time but I think it will be revealed soon. The schedule below has been updated with the latest info.

Rock am Ring 2013 Stream and TV broadcast announced

At the upcoming weekend it's time again for the big Rock am Ring festival here in germany. The festival is sold out for quite some time already so I took a look around on the web and happily found out, that parts of the Rock am Ring 2013 festival will be streamed online. Here's the link to the streaming page. Bands and times are still to be concreted/announced. So far you can take a look at the official festival page to see which bands will play at a certain time and on which stage. Of couse I do hope that some of the metal bands that will show up there will be streamed through linked the website. 

Or simply click on the play button in the video frame below to watch since they happily gave permission this year to embedd the stream. There are two streams by the way, one send's directly the band's performances while the other one send's send with a little delay and/or not live but recorded stuff only. The second stream I mentioned can only be seen on the streaming page I linked, so If you want to see it you still need to go there to watch it.




If you do live in germany you might be happy to read that some TV stations over here will do broadcasts of this big festival event. Jump over to this page to see which TV stations and other websites will host stuff from the event. It's all in german language, but I hope it's helps you out anyway.

On a sitenote: if you also want to watch stuff from Rock im Park, the small twin of Rock am Ring just jump over to this page, there you can also see some band performances streamed live. The original streaming site from broadcast station PULS lists the following bands for today's streaming, sadly without times but I guess those are identical with the stage times mentioned here.

• SAM

• Stereophonics

• Hurts

• Blumentopf

• A$AP Rocky

• Bullet For My Valentine

• Kraftklub

• koRn

Update 2013/06/10: Sadly it's all over already again. Anyway, the radio station that hosted the stream currently has some videos up for watching on their site. Thought you might like to know.
