Wacken Foundation

The Wacken Foundation is a recognized non-profit foundation dedicated to the promotion of hard rock and heavy metal music. Basically, all artists and bands from the heavy metal scene can be supported by the Wacken Foundation. You can find more information on our website!

Even if the name Wacken Foundation may seem misleading, the organizers of the W:O:A do not benefit from a single cent of the donations. The entire assets of the foundation will be used exclusively for the promotion of artists of the metal scene.

It is about supporting those who have chosen the long, hard and stony way, who don't have the dream to be in the limelight overnight, but those who want to work hard for their dream. This is the path that the foundation wants to support by providing economic support to young, but also long-established artists who lack the necessary means!
