just looked at the Wacken 2015 lineup and can't say there were any bands that would make me feel like it was worth it. Anaal Nathrakh and My Dying Bride were the only ones that jumped out at me that I haven't already seen.
Hellfest 2015 had Tryiptykon, Vallenfyre, Envy, Ahab, Coffins, Saint Vitus, and just more bands that I'd like to see again over Wacken. I personally don't care if it was once "the" metal fest to go to. it's gotten pretty weak for my tastes. at least it isn't as lame as fucking Download fest.

1349, Alcest, Aura Noir, Benediction, Borknagar, Blind Guardian, Der Weg Einer Feiheit, Eluveitie, Girlschool, Ihsahn, Iron Maiden, Kylesa, Legion of the Damned, Marduk, Red Fang, Testament, Triptykon, and more next year though.
Wacken has been weak as fuck for the past five years or so. Hell, I'm pretty sure FFDP played a couple years ago.
Edit: Just looked up the line up for that year. It included Skid Row, Steel Panther, Bring Me The Horizon, and August Burns Red. Never would have imagined Wacken would have ever booked any of those bands
Seeing slap plug Sremmlife in here and trying to get Ed to listen to it I figured I'd listen. Didn't know it'd be the same trendy "every line ends in a one syllable echo" stuff. Cool beats to get fucked up to but can't listen to the entire album straight

It's fun. Lots of fun. Production is A1 and the lyrics are funny to me. It's just feel good music. Pretty shallow sure but at least they over all have a positive message.
