FIRST DAY AT WACKEN | Vlog #16 | Emmelie Herwegh

On the 1st of August my trip to Wacken Open Air in Germany began. I was going to W:O:A: together with my boyfriend Ozzy's band: Inferum.
They won the Dutch Metal Battle and with that gained themselves a spot at the international Wacken metal battle. I vlogged my experience and their adventure at the festival. Enjoy watching! Stay tuned for more W:O:A: vlogs with behind the scenes footage! :D

Hi and welcome to my channel! My name is Emmelie Herwegh. I am a 22 year old girl from the Netherlands. Music has always been a big part of my life: I collect vinyl records, play guitar, photograph bands and visit concerts & festivals. On this channel I share my passion with the world.

[@tainted_lord87]

Wacken is literally every metalhead's paradise. I'm glad you got to be a part of it, Emmelie.

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thank you!

[@gallaghim]

That was great. You must all have been so excited. It's nice to see parts of the festival that we don't normally get to see.

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thank you, we were! You're going to like today's vlog even better then, lot's of behind the scenes! :D

[@belahasenfracz]

It's so cool! I really enjoyed being virtually showed around at the venue which is simply fascinating^^ The music by Inferum you put playing in the background is also very great:) \m/

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thank you very much! You're going to like tomorrow's vlog even more then! It's the vlog of the day there were playing and I filmed a lot behind the scenes. Nice to hear that you enjoy their music! :D

[@brucybabyy7355]

very cool! definitely on my bucket list.

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thanks! :)

[@CryingZombie666]

3:43 SABATOn and AMON AMARTH!!

[@jimmygray4525]

This feels like a dream come true for me. I absolutely appreciate this. Like I said, hopefully in the future I go to W:O:A. This means a lot to me.

[@emmelieherwegh]

+Jimmy Gray Thank you very much! Hopefully you can go someday! 😘

[@slaytanicwehrmacht1188]

Thank you. This was my first time in 12 years not going to Wacken, so its nice to follow your Wacken videos.

[@emmelieherwegh]

+slaytanic wehrmacht Thank you very much! Why weren't you going this year?

[@slaytanicwehrmacht1188]

I had to work unfortunately. Will be a trip next year, are you going back next year?

[@vontroneg1016]

Nice Vlog, gave me a good impression of how Wacken is. I never went there, 'cause normally I prefer the smaller festivals and concerts.

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! :)

[@CryingZombie666]

7:45 Those tents are pretty cool :D

[@adicleitonborges3074]

Awesome

[@Nino4ek]

2017! Man, that was my first Wacken!

[@Nino4ek]

And I have that program book as well!)))

[@siulbelt]

Song of the soundtrack?

[@Nino4ek]

Ah so, I was thinking about it - band or crew member!

[@JaxBTheRipper]

My goal is to go next year, all we have here in the states is Ozzfest meets Knotfest and this year line up sucks! My friend and I are still debating if we should go just to see the smaller bands and leave when the mainstream bands play.

[@emmelieherwegh]

+The Bunny Barn by Jax Awesome! I always used to think that America had a lot of festivals as well but people have been telling me differently in the comments. Such a shame..

[@JaxBTheRipper]

with Ozzfest being run mainly my Sharon she will make it main stream as much as she can. At least in Europe the countries are more closer together so you guys can go to any festival a lot more easier.

[@gogoopetgogo8086]

your loyal viewer here. youre doing great with your videos and keep it up!

[@emmelieherwegh]

[@emmelieherwegh]

Haha! He was a little bit nervous, actually the whole band was, but they were really excited obviously! I still can't believe it either! It was so awesome. Have you been to Wacken before?

[@beyondtheradio]

Awesome! i bet ha ha. and no but i went to Hellfest in France this year which is similar.A+++ Amazing time! Your festivals in Europe are worth the trip from america :P

[@emmelieherwegh]

+Beyond the Radio Awesome! I've never been there before but one of my friends has. 🤘🏼

[@_the_end_complete8644]

I wanna go back! So much fun there!

[@emmelieherwegh]

+Richelle Ehrenhard 🤘🏼

[@koffieverslaafde627]

Richelle Ehrenhard this looks so much fun but i'm kinda young (i'm almost 13) and no one I know is a metalhead....

[@_the_end_complete8644]

Koffie Verslaafde ik was net 18 toen ik voor het eerst naar wacken ging. Sorry zag nu pas je bericht

[@DanielHernandez-yd9mb]

+Nouman fastbowler What do you want to know exactly?

[@ghplayer1992]

well I wanna know that I will fly from Pakistan via Dubai to Germany than when I will land in Germany than where to go or what to do plz help me from there

[@emmelieherwegh]

+Nouman fastbowler Hmm, you should really look into that! Wacken is really close to Denmark. You can find some information on the Wacken website when you search for travel. Hope that helps you out! I live in The Netherlands and I went with a bus trip that was organized especially for Wacken.

[@ghplayer1992]

SO IS WACKEN A CITY A COUNTY WHAT IT IS ACTUALLY can u just really help how to reach there

[@emmelieherwegh]

Wacken is a municipality, honestly I'm just getting this information from Google so I'd suggest you'd search for it yourself. There's a lot of information you can find!

[@erwinestevesruelas8137]

COOOOONGRAAAAAAAAATS!!!! (SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER SCREAM) xDDDDDD I'm happy for you Emmelie (KEEP FUCKING SUPPORTING METAL) 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thank you very much! :D

[@iipurgeghoul-xprgd5304]

Nice! I subscribed to your channel c: 🤘✨.

[@emmelieherwegh]

Thank you! 🤘🏼

[@CryingZombie666]

7:29 That old guy on the left near the camera/phone looks like Scott Steiner lmao

[@RetroMediaLibrary]

haha I thought the same thing! what is the Big Bad Booty Daddy doing in Wacken? :-D

[@chrisk5364]

Retro Media Library looking for some freaks! Lol

[@bettterthanpetrucci3864]

whats the song at the beginning?? are you getting in deathcore!? i just hope that you will not be emmelie the emo kid😂 that would be kinda weird

[@emmelieherwegh]

+bettter than Petrucci The first song is from the KZbin audio library. The other songs are from Inferum and they're death metal actually. And no, I've been there and done that already 😂

[@bettterthanpetrucci3864]

+Emmelie Herwegh wtf?😂 emmelie the emo?

[@bettterthanpetrucci3864]

+Emmelie Herwegh the i cant really hear the difference deathcore:BREAKDOWN BREE BREEE death metal with breakdown=deathcore😕 sorry but its identicall to me

[@emmelieherwegh]

+bettter than Petrucci Most of us have been there hahaha, anyway, that phase is behind me. Didn't take long either 😂

[@warlordwossman5722]

Too many people for my taste. I would imagine that it's okay with the artist ticket tho. Party San last weekend was almost too much for me and that's like 10% of the people.

[@emmelieherwegh]

+WarlordWossman Evades I agree, I was really happy that we could go backstage or to the VIP area to relax and take a break. I do think that Wacken is an awesome experience though!

[@warlordwossman5722]

We talked about Wacken in the comment section of another video already and I can see how people enjoy it. A thing I would really like to see is a video where you talk about your fav acts from the festival and why you liked them live (+do you listen to them at home and all these things). In your other videos you filmed Exodus for example but never said a word about them after. Would really like to hear your thoughts on many things that you show on camera (which you always do really well).

[@emmelieherwegh]

+WarlordWossman Evades Thanks for the feedback! I feel like I have so much to say and show but don't always know how to. Still finding my way with vlogging and everything but I feel like it's getting better and easier every time :)

[@warlordwossman5722]

Kinda hard to comment on live bands in the same video without a million jump cuts I guess. On the other hand I think it would be rather easy to shoot some sentences to an album or a band in a collection update video so the viewer gets some context to the records you are showing. Talking about it I wonder if you still have not bought anything in all that time since you did your last collection update.

[@emmelieherwegh]

I guess so! I did get new records but I've been so busy with my new study that I didn't get to record new colletion updates. Vlogs are easier to record because then I'm just doing whatever I have to do and film it. Definetly planning on doing more sit down and talking videos such as collection video's again in the future!

[@bobabier5394]

Wacken... Endlich normale Leute! Wacken... finally normal people!

[@CryingZombie666]

Wacken is way before Graspop, honey ;)

[@emmelieherwegh]

+StygianTraveler141 I said that it reminds me of Graspop. I've been there multiple times but this was my first time at Wacken 😬

[@CryingZombie666]

+Emmelie Herwegh I know. But you should know that it should be the other way around, since Wacken exists way longer than Graspop.

[@JurgenD]

She didn't say that Graspop (1996) exists longer than Wacken (1990), but it's also a MEGA metal festival but Wacken is bigger. We are lucky to have so many great metal festivals in the region Belgium/Netherlands/Germany/France. Metal is still alive and kicking after so many years.

[@CryingZombie666]

+Jurgen Driesen I knew that. I meant she should know about the history of Wacken and drawn the opinion that Graspop reminds her of Wacken rather than the other way around.

[@JurgenD]

Funny discussion. :-) If you only had experience with festivals like Graspop as "a big metal festival" then I understand the saying of "it reminds me of Graspop." I would do the same. I would also compare festivals to Graspop because I've never been to a bigger festival to date. If I ever go to Wacken then Wacken is the new reference for a big festival for me.

[@Crazii]

Awesome work! Looking forward to seeing more content! I also wondered, as I am new to KZbin if you could check out my videos and only if you find them enjoyable, maybe we could help each other out as i'm close to 500? Thanks!

[@emmelieherwegh]

+Thomas Goodwin Thank you very much! I'll check your channel out in a bit :)
