Idag lanserar vi en kampanj som handlar om Bråvalla. Det handlar inte om artister eller några nyheter för årets festival. Vi vill presentera Bråvalla på ett annat sätt, där vi beskriver hur vi jobbar, hur vi ser på saker och ting och vad vi tycker att en festival ska vara. Vi kallar det för Vi Är Festivalen. Vi gör detta för att det finns så mycket mer med festivalen att prata om än vad som ryms i en facebookpost eller på 140 tecken. På www.viärfestivalen.se får du träffa några av oss som jobbar med festivalen. Pantea som ser till att allt finns på plats när du kommer till festivalen, Johanna som har hand om alla artister och Julia som ser till att det finns en massa god mat att äta på festivalen.

Allt du läser om på sajten handlar om gemenskap, för när man kokar...

We can present you the Wacken Open Air Running Order for 2016!

The Running Order is available HERE.

Born to lose, live to win – A Farewell to Lemmy
This year’s Night to Remember is going to end with an homage to the passed away Lemmy Kilmister. Motörhead wanted to rock Wacken again, but it sadly came differently.

Dio Disciples feat. a very special guest
At the end of the festival, we will remember another legend. The Dio Disciples, friends and co-musicians of Ronnie James Dio, will share the stage with very special guest.

At the same time we also have to announce the cancellation of Lamb of God. The band is going to record a new album and called off the scheduled shows.

36 dagar är allt som står mellan oss och sommarens bästa fest. Nu kan vi presentera ytterligare åtta akter från hela musikspektrat! Vi välkomnar Graveyard, Laakso, Movits!, Børns, Mwuana, Tired Lion, Public Service Broadcasting och Smith and Thell.

GRAVEYARD
Trummisen Axel Sjöberg har en axeltatuering som försäkrar att han spelar ”true Göteborg gubbrock” och det är något som alla medlemmar i det internationellt hyllade Graveyard gärna står bakom. Utifrån publikens perspektiv är rock/bluesbandet ett band man efter fyra album nämner i samma andetag som legendarerna i Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy och Led Zeppelin. Precis som om att det är de som bibehåller nostalgisk rock i modern tid, och kanske för att deras förmåga att göra det är så förbannat bra...

Tillsammans med JoiaAgency och Pepsi Max presenterar Bråvalla dagsfesterna på Sensation. Festivalbesökarna har vid det här laget vant sig vid att festen drar igång strax efter lunch, och årets festival kommer inte göra någon danssugen besviken! Vi välkomnar Bråvallafavoriter som Albin Myers och John Dahlbäck tillbaka, och ser framemot att få svettas till akter som Ibizas B Jones och svenska duon TJUVA.

ALBIN MYERS
Den konstant aktiva producenten Albin Myers är en showstopper bakom DJ-båset. Det vet vi av erfarenhet då han redan har gett oss tre rejäla omgångar på Bråvalla, där det ena årets show toppat den andra. 2008 slutade den vassa producenten på sitt sommarjobb och lade all sin tid på att skapa ”Evil Electro House”, som han själv kallar det...

If you take a close look, you will notice one or more innovations like the new shower camp S6 and other things – based on your feedback, we optimized the area, the setup and the flow of the festival once more.

We will explain the innovations in detail in a separate info post before the festival starts.
