This reminds me a ton of major sci-fi conventions like Dragon Con, where 80,000 people congregate for 5 days in a 4 block radius. Costumes, bands, art, community, comradeship... These aren't just people. They're YOUR people.
Im going to go to my first metal festival at graspop this year and I am so excited! I am already a seasoned european weekend festival goer( 2x Sziget, decibel,2x defqon 1, pinkpop) but im sure this will be the best experience of them all and I am planning to go to a lot of other metal festivals in the years to come! Thanks for giving me some insipration for my next destinations(hellfest, metal days, wacken) and i love your channel so far!
Im in my mid 20s and have been a metalhead since i was 14 and I've never been to a festval, I havent even been outside of the united states. At some point I know I will go to one, I hope it's not the last time I see one.
I hope that I'll be able to overcome my social anxiety and enjoy concerts/festivals again. When I first started going to concerts seven years ago I loved it, I went very early and would get to the barricade and it felt like there was no one there accept for the band and me. I think when covid happened the two years with no shows did a number on me. Now I'm self-concious about going alone, especially at a festival. Most of the people that talk to me always comment on it and I hate it. They always say it in a way that implies I should feel bad about being alone. I still go to festivals but it's just not the same anymore. And meeting people is so hard, even when I can chat with someone I feel like no one likes me enough to hang out later or spend the next day together. And the worst part is people talk to me ALL THE TIME, like I guess I have an approachable face but then I open my mouth and ruin it. I *really* want to go to Hellfest, Wacken, Slam Dunk, and many other festivals in Europe/UK because I know they'll be so much more fun than American festivals, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend the travel money if I'm not sure I'll be able to mingle properly. I hope I can get over this soon
Hey man, if you want to join me and my buddies, we are going to Summerbreeze next summer I am not even kidding, even though i dont really know where you from or how you going to get to germany But i would still love to take you on board and for you to join us
Metal festivals are a must for any metal fan. It's the only way we can feel truly immersed in our odd culture. Fans of more mainstream genres can usually feel like they're around others who share their tastes in everyday life. I live in quite a big city (Sydney) and it's a bit of a novelty to even pass another metalhead in the street. So going to a festival and being absolutely surrounded by the sights and sounds of metal for almost a week is an absolute blast!
I'm relatively new to your channel but I'm so glad I came across your videos. Been a longtime metalhead but never was able to go to any metal festivals just because I felt intimidated by all the options. You've inspired me to take some risks, rock on brother 🤟🏾
People don’t understand my love for this type of thing but you were spot on with why I love it, going to any rock or metal concert is like therapy for me. I’m a pretty big introvert so it’s hard to find people that want to go to festivals let alone a concert and I feel awkward if I was to go by myself because I’m not a social butterfly, but when I’m at a show or even driving to one it feels like I’m top of the world. I feel at peace, I feel like life can’t get any better, that’s why I try to make it to at least one show a year but that’s just not enough and what friends I do have aren’t into it as much as I am. So it’s just a “meh I’d rather spend my money doing something else” 🙁. I have yet to make it to one of those multi day festivals, my dream is going to hellfest but that’s overseas so who knows if that will ever happen. Anyways I love you all and keep rocking! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I feel like the metal community is the strongest bonded community in the world. Nothing will ever tear us apart or bring us down because metal never dies, and because WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT!! Metal in the air, beer in the water, fire on the stage, and trembles through the earth
Hell yeah brother! Welcome to Rockville was my first music festival and I saw probably 40 bands even with sacrificing some for better positions for others and sleeping in. Had an amazing time, got really dirty, extremely worn out, but not injured, sunburned or hungover. Going from Hammerhedd -> Kreator -> Sepultura -> Knocked Loose -> end of Alice Cooper then Pantera on Saturday was such a good run for me.
Damn.. amazing how listening to all of this, seems so familiar, so right.. I'm probably half the world a far from all of everyone here, yet so related.. Only Metal can deliver such an experience.. just amazing.. thanks for that.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I think the metalheads are the kindest and sweetest human beings on earth. I have lived long enough to form such an opinion. The way I see it they are people with certain emotional and spiritual yearnings and desires that cannot be satisfied in any other way. They are people who want to experience intense passion, a rare commodity these days.
I always feel a sense of brotherhood when I am on a metal festival. Everyone is caring for each other and friendly all the time. You can go to a random camp full of strangers and have the time of your life. You can sing your favorite songs as loud as you can in a crowd of literal berserks and they will cheer you on. Every metal head will share everything they have with you and help you whenever you need it. Metal festivals are the kind of places where you can see the best in humanity, a glimpse of a better world and I love it.
Man I would really like to go to a metal festival one day, I don't go to a lot of local shows anymore because the people at my local scene never got along with me. It'll be really refreshing to go to a metal festival
I always used to go to Graspop solo, because most of my friends weren't metalheads. Everyone was always so shocked and scared for me "you dare to go there alone??", but I've never felt more comfortable and at ease than there. I then also met my now-husband there, so my solo days are over. No regret picking that up along the way.
Finances have gotten in the way for a while, but I absolutely plan to make it to one of these festivals one day. I think your video on Hellfest has convinced me that I should be prioritizing it if I can make it happen. Metal is so much fun man. Just saw Goatwhore play at one of our local venues earlier this week, and all the openers were local bands. It's so cool how supportive this community is of each other. Long live metal!
I've been to Sweden Rock Festival every year since 2008, when I went first time with my dad when I was 11 years old. First 4 years were just 1 day tickets with dad, but when I hit 15 and went there first time alone with my friends for the entire festival, it completely changed me. Since 15, I've been there the entire week up til the current age of 26 with the same group of friends, it's a tradition now, we talk about the festival months before it's even due. The only thing that sucks about festivals is the last day when the depression starts hitting you knowing that you're going to pass out in the tent for the last time. I fucking love festivals, this video nails it all.
Hey Wyatt, got the festival blues big time and found your channel, it's awesome and just the kind of thing a metal-head festival goer needs. Big Props for travelling all the way from across the world to European festivals. Cheers!
About to witness my first metal festival, Tuska in Helsinki (spotted the B-roll of last year’s event in this video, nice), in about 13 hours! Think it’s gonna be fucking amazing
In a couple of weeks i will take a bunch of Portuguese friends, a caravan and we will travel through spain and france to my first hellfest. Such a dream for us.
So true! All your reasons to love them are spot on. Being there with all their unexpected moments is life memories that you can’t get by just listening to the music.
When I was waiting in line to see carcass, municipal waste, sacred Reich and creeping death I had three different people come up to me and ask who was playing and ALL of them started walking away with a judgmental face before I even finished saying Carcass
I'm not a metalhead, and hate festivals personally, but I appreciate your channel, it makes good background noise despite me never going to a festival again after the disastrous experiences I've had with them. They weren't even metal festivals, they weren't hardcore at all, the problem was that I am just not built for cardio. If I am ever made to stand or walk in the sun for more than an hour I will die. I know certain fitness people hate that and go "Nooo you are built for cardio you just don't know how to run and walk properly." No Mr. Goggin's, I have flat feet, weak knees, and can't even squat or deadlift without pain, I am built for limited mobility and bursts of upper body energy not for endurance and walking/running, my legs are a bottleneck, my blood line bred out walking, if I lived in 10,000 bc when people walked 300 miles in a week to migrate for food, I'd be dead, period. I ended up losing out on a ton of money for a festival with a shitty "no re-entry" policy because my body could not hold up and I was basically either going to wait 4 hours doing nothing without dying, or just leaving, I ended up leaving and basically wasted money but would have probably died if I hadn't. This happened twice for the only 2 festivals I've been to, and the only memories I have of festivals are bad or not worth it. The other time I was indoors and got to sit for a bit, but still ended up leaving before even seeing who I paid to go listen to. Now I know better. Never going to a festival again. Only concerts for me from now on that last 3 hours maximum with 1 to 5 artists max playing. I am simply not built for festivals. Maybe I'd go to something like 70k tons if all the stages are in front of pools, because swimming is the universal human sport, no matter how disabled, or out of shape, or unbuilt for cardio you are, I can swim 12 hours straight, but good luck organizing a multi stage festival that's fully underwater with a line up I like. I will never understand how some people are able to do stuff like Tolminator. I can't stand around without collapsing for more than a while in the sun. That said the passion and love you have for festivals keeps me watching. More power to you and anyone who actually can enjoy music festivals. Your editing of clips and descriptions of the experiences are always fun to watch and put on in the background. I enjoy observing from afar, but not going within 500 meters of a festival myself ever again.
I know Wyatt isn't a big fan of the DWP events, but my son & i have gone to Louder than Life the last 2 years (& this year!) & its been the most amazing bonding experience we've had since he was a little headbanger. The sense of comradery & acceptance of every kind of weirdness to just enjoy a bunch of awesome bands, its such an amazing high, who needs weed? Its 4 days we've been looking forward to each year since the first year we went, so much fun
Like all metal heads, I love collecting band shit, t-shirts, records, badges, patches. I went to Bloodstock in 2010 and while I was browsing around the market looking at leather boots, studded wristbands that I always wanted, walls of patches in tents and too many other accessories to remember Amorphis were playing on the main stage and that became one of my favorite sets of the weekend despite that I wasn't even at the main stage watching them. You really feel like a kid in a candy store and you're surrounded by everyone geeking out and getting excited cus they found a new back patch with their fave album on it.
Fuck yeah buddy, you said it perfectly. After traveling from Canada to Wacken 6x over the past dozen years, this summer I'm hitting up a smaller festival in Denmark called Metal Magic, and planning for a different one in 2024. Truly some of the very best times in my life.
Metal festivals are life, this year my first time going to Download festival and Bloodstock in August, will be 4 days of rock/metal, head banging, moshing and having the most fun days!! Cannot wait!
Randomly finding these vids is like a divine intervention... my first download festival in less than 2 weeks and i cant fucking wait!!!!! Been to Amsterdam for sensation twice but this will be the first full on festival.
When to my first festival copenhell 2023 and even though I lost my phone and didn’t get it back I still had the time of a lifetime moshing,drinking,rocking out
Man, I can't imagine traveling that much for festivals. I'm going overseas for a festival for the first time for Radar Festival in the UK, and I already thought that was wild. If the lineup next year looks anything like this one next year, I'll probably be going back there again
Went to a metal festival for the very first time this year, Summer Breeze in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, it was just such an amazing experience, so much amazing music, great people, amazing atmosphere, great experience :)
Dynamo in the 90s was my first fest, it was also the largest, over 100,000. It was pretty amazing. I used to go to a lot over the years, including Inferno in Oslo, my favorite. They are so much fun!
Currently watching this video and I’m excited to be attending day one of Northwest Terrorfest here in Seattle. This 5th installment has one of my favorite lineups to date! 🤘🏾
Metalhead hitting metalfestvals since the 80s, its all about the atmosphere, its one big family having a good time with great music, beer and moshpits maybe you come for the big names, but there can be unknown gems as well
This year was the first Wacken for me. Rain.....mud.... At first I thought, it'll going to be a bad experience. But now, every time I smell a cow field, it feels like I know that smell... and then all the great memories come to my mind.
This brought a tear to my eye. 😂 You’re a gem in the community. If you have a chance, I’m on eye Gee. The same name. You’ll appreciate it, thank you so much!🤘🙏
I still dream of going to a metal festival but unfortunately i cant afford the prices of travel and the tickets 😢 but maybe one day i will be able to go!
I went to aftershock for my first festival and it was so awesome, i made so many friends at the barricade and i got so beat up during the headliners set. Still, i had such a good time, i only wish i could’ve stayed all the days.
Just saw Pantera last night for the first time in my life. I will forever be grateful that I was able to yel RE-SPECT, WALK, with a bunch of other people.
I haven't been to a Eurofest yet but I've been to the Philly Decibel fest, 3 Mass Destruction fest and 2 Carolina Chainsaw Massacre Fest. We got Maryland Doomfest next month, and got tickets to Hell's Heroes for next year. I love metalfests!!
I am conflicted. I want to like this video, as I identify with everything said, but it's currently at 666 likes and I just can't be the person to make that go away... But trust me, I absolutely DID like the video.
Thanks! So far I've been on metal cruises like 70,000 Tons that stopped in Mexico but no festivals in the country yet, but im planning on Mexico Metalfest in November
I’m dying for the day I get to go to hell fest. I’m trying to make it out to psycho Las Vegas sometime but being broke in Ohio makes travel hard. I’d love to hear your opinions about the themed tours every year Like summer slaughter Chaos and carnage Bloodletting Devastation on the nation I went to a lot of these when I first listened to metal and i met some of my best friends at them. The line ups for a lot of them packed some heat too for like $15
I live near Download but always so hesitant to go because my buddies aren't into the music, so it would literally just be on my lonesome. No idea what that's like for a singular person, but this at least means I can get adopted by some random Norwegian if I'm lost.
I'm starting off my summer with nova rock in 2 weeks! but I never go to a festival for more than 1 day. call me old but that's how did it since I was a teen. this year I'm gonna get up at 9 and take 2 trains and a bus to get there between 12 and 1pm. and after it's over I take the train home and go to bed at 4am. that's more than enough for me. also the lineup is never good enough to stay for 3 or 4 days^^ also... shit's expensive lmao
Going as a teenager to a metal festival, truly gave me sens of belonging to some culture, and it was life changing in the absolute best way!
Same for me! It was so life changing
Same
Dude, you hit the nail on the head will all of these. It's just magic, crazy, loud, drunken, leather-clad magic.
6:19 - You had the PERFECT opportunity to say "When you're here, you're family"😂😂😂, which is legit how every metal show and metal fest feel!
You're a great story teller bro.
Thanks for watching!
This year is my first time going to Wacken. So excited and your videos are giving complete overview and great tips of what to prepare. Thanks alot
Wacken is usually a good festival. If you come to uk try bloodstock and avoid download at all costs
This reminds me a ton of major sci-fi conventions like Dragon Con, where 80,000 people congregate for 5 days in a 4 block radius. Costumes, bands, art, community, comradeship... These aren't just people. They're YOUR people.
I can say the exact same thing about goth/industrial/dark wave festivals!
Best of luck to your band!
Im going to go to my first metal festival at graspop this year and I am so excited! I am already a seasoned european weekend festival goer( 2x Sziget, decibel,2x defqon 1, pinkpop) but im sure this will be the best experience of them all and I am planning to go to a lot of other metal festivals in the years to come! Thanks for giving me some insipration for my next destinations(hellfest, metal days, wacken) and i love your channel so far!
Im in my mid 20s and have been a metalhead since i was 14 and I've never been to a festval, I havent even been outside of the united states. At some point I know I will go to one, I hope it's not the last time I see one.
loving the videos wyatt!! clicked on this as soon as it popped up.
I hope that I'll be able to overcome my social anxiety and enjoy concerts/festivals again.

And the worst part is people talk to me ALL THE TIME, like I guess I have an approachable face but then I open my mouth and ruin it. I *really* want to go to Hellfest, Wacken, Slam Dunk, and many other festivals in Europe/UK because I know they'll be so much more fun than American festivals, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend the travel money if I'm not sure I'll be able to mingle properly. I hope I can get over this soon
Hey man, if you want to join me and my buddies, we are going to Summerbreeze next summer
I am not even kidding, even though i dont really know where you from or how you going to get to germany
But i would still love to take you on board and for you to join us
Metal festivals are a must for any metal fan. It's the only way we can feel truly immersed in our odd culture. Fans of more mainstream genres can usually feel like they're around others who share their tastes in everyday life.
I live in quite a big city (Sydney) and it's a bit of a novelty to even pass another metalhead in the street. So going to a festival and being absolutely surrounded by the sights and sounds of metal for almost a week is an absolute blast!
My band is playing with your band next month, can't wait to check y'all out!
Fuck yea!!
Thanks I needed this! Heading to a festival this weekend
Sonic Temple?
I'm relatively new to your channel but I'm so glad I came across your videos. Been a longtime metalhead but never was able to go to any metal festivals just because I felt intimidated by all the options. You've inspired me to take some risks, rock on brother 🤟🏾
People don’t understand my love for this type of thing but you were spot on with why I love it, going to any rock or metal concert is like therapy for me.

I just got back from Welcome to Rockville and have serious PFD so I needed to see this. Thank you 🤘
Hell yeah brother! Welcome to Rockville was my first music festival and I saw probably 40 bands even with sacrificing some for better positions for others and sleeping in. Had an amazing time, got really dirty, extremely worn out, but not injured, sunburned or hungover.
Going from Hammerhedd -> Kreator -> Sepultura -> Knocked Loose -> end of Alice Cooper then Pantera on Saturday was such a good run for me.
Damn.. amazing how listening to all of this, seems so familiar, so right.. I'm probably half the world a far from all of everyone here, yet so related.. Only Metal can deliver such an experience.. just amazing.. thanks for that.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Been watching all your videos lately and you've fully brought the metalhead back in me
eyyy you even dropped a clip from Inkcareration the fest im returning to this year
That clip of Tirion made me actually spit out my drink laughing xD
I always feel a sense of brotherhood when I am on a metal festival. Everyone is caring for each other and friendly all the time.

I went to my first fest this past August. Thanks for reminding me of that rush and how god-damn much I NEED to go back, and add another to my list!

holy shit
I was lucky to go to a local metal festival in San Antonio and even 12 bands was huge i cant imagine 3 or more days of bands
I know Wyatt isn't a big fan of the DWP events, but my son & i have gone to Louder than Life the last 2 years (& this year!) & its been the most amazing bonding experience we've had since he was a little headbanger.

Like all metal heads, I love collecting band shit, t-shirts, records, badges, patches.

Metal festivals are life, this year my first time going to Download festival and Bloodstock in August, will be 4 days of rock/metal, head banging, moshing and having the most fun days!! Cannot wait!
My wife were never a metalhead, but have still been with me on around 20 metal festivals and loves the culture.
Randomly finding these vids is like a divine intervention... my first download festival in less than 2 weeks and i cant fucking wait!!!!! Been to Amsterdam for sensation twice but this will be the first full on festival.
Woooooo, love your channel bro!!! 🤘🤘🤘
I love your content dude!!
Bruh you need wayy more subscribers
been saying this since day 1
💯 spot on🤘metal festivals are a total stress free recharge...
You nailed it again🤘
I do inkcarciration and louder than life every year and love it. It can be stressful at times but its the best moment to unwind.
When to my first festival copenhell 2023 and even though I lost my phone and didn’t get it back I still had the time of a lifetime moshing,drinking,rocking out
I’m heading to my first large festival blue ridge this year is so stack I can’t wait!!!!
Ooohhhh this aged like shit , did you make it out alright
Man, I can't imagine traveling that much for festivals. I'm going overseas for a festival for the first time for Radar Festival in the UK, and I already thought that was wild. If the lineup next year looks anything like this one next year, I'll probably be going back there again

I need to go to one before I die, it’s literally on the top of my totally real bucket list
Metalhead hitting metalfestvals since the 80s, its all about the atmosphere,
its one big family having a good time with great music, beer and moshpits
maybe you come for the big names, but there can be unknown gems as well
you had me at shopping trolley demo derbies
This year was the first Wacken for me.
Rain.....mud....
At first I thought, it'll going to be a bad experience.
But now, every time I smell a cow field, it feels like I know that smell...
and then all the great memories come to my mind.
This brought a tear to my eye. 😂
You’re a gem in the community.
If you have a chance, I’m on eye Gee. The same name. You’ll appreciate it, thank you so much!🤘🙏
I still dream of going to a metal festival but unfortunately i cant afford the prices of travel and the tickets 😢 but maybe one day i will be able to go!
Metal Festivals ARE LIFE. Literally its what I live for. Thank you Wyatt for confirming im not the only werido out there!
Download in 2 weeks my first time can’t wait.
I went to aftershock for my first festival and it was so awesome, i made so many friends at the barricade and i got so beat up during the headliners set. Still, i had such a good time, i only wish i could’ve stayed all the days.
I'm going to the blue ridge festival in Virginia in September with my daughter and best friend .I can't wait 🤘
Hellyeah...Wacken is disneyworld for a Metalhead 🤘
Just saw Pantera last night for the first time in my life. I will forever be grateful that I was able to yel RE-SPECT, WALK, with a bunch of other people.
Hey im one of the wasted longhairs that smells like dead dogs
Wyatt! I've been enjoying your content man, keep it up! I'd love to see a video from you about this years Blue Ridge festival. Will you be going?
I haven't been to a Eurofest yet but I've been to the Philly Decibel fest, 3 Mass Destruction fest and 2 Carolina Chainsaw Massacre Fest. We got Maryland Doomfest next month, and got tickets to Hell's Heroes for next year. I love metalfests!!
great vids dude
Going to sonic temple festival tomorrow can’t wait !!
Slayer!!!!!!!!🤘
Metal is a Attitude to Life. Forever Metal
Cant beat festivals. Went to monsters of rock at donnington from first to early 90s. Got to see lots of crap but still came away happy in end.
Ik it might not be the same but i find punk festivals have similar experiences
come to Nova Rock in Austria, its usually a 4 days long metal festival with 3 stages
i live next to Ekebergsletta which helps a lot as they host Tons of Rock there which is a pretty big metal festival
Hahahaha I love it, the force is metal!
I'm flying to The Netherlands to see Rammstein in 6 weeks from Florida for my 6th Rammstein show. Does that count??
This guy gets it!
I am conflicted. I want to like this video, as I identify with everything said, but it's currently at 666 likes and I just can't be the person to make that go away... But trust me, I absolutely DID like the video.
Hi, loving your videos so far. Just curious what Mexican Festival have you being?
Thanks! So far I've been on metal cruises like 70,000 Tons that stopped in Mexico but no festivals in the country yet, but im planning on Mexico Metalfest in November
@@wyattsmetal Woah! Them we might see each other because I'm planning to go there too!
I’m dying for the day I get to go to hell fest. I’m trying to make it out to psycho Las Vegas sometime but being broke in Ohio makes travel hard. I’d love to hear your opinions about the themed tours every year
Like summer slaughter
Chaos and carnage
Bloodletting
Devastation on the nation
I went to a lot of these when I first listened to metal and i met some of my best friends at them. The line ups for a lot of them packed some heat too for like $15
They’re awesome
I went to KnotFest and seen Gojira, Behemoth, Volbeat, and of course Slipknot. Great time
Dude) I wanna buy you a beer on graspop)
No,
I'll buy you one
Try Obscene Extreme Festival, extremly good atmosphere!
First time Wacken attendance 😅
Flying from Canada. Thanks for the advice 😁
welcome to Finland, ill buy you a beer at Tuska
I live near Download but always so hesitant to go because my buddies aren't into the music, so it would literally just be on my lonesome. No idea what that's like for a singular person, but this at least means I can get adopted by some random Norwegian if I'm lost.
I'm starting off my summer with nova rock in 2 weeks! but I never go to a festival for more than 1 day. call me old but that's how did it since I was a teen. this year I'm gonna get up at 9 and take 2 trains and a bus to get there between 12 and 1pm. and after it's over I take the train home and go to bed at 4am. that's more than enough for me. also the lineup is never good enough to stay for 3 or 4 days^^ also... shit's expensive lmao
too bad I have 0 friends that enjoy metal, id love to go to one of these.
5:41 Margot Robbie is fucking AWESOME.
this is how I feel about Dubstep/Bass festivals, bassheads and metalheads are one in the same (I fucking love metal too lol)
METALLICAAA!! SO HYPED FOR DOWNLOAD 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Greatest video on YT? 🎸
Come to Tuska!
9th time Wacken for me this year! Just love it, best festival on the fcking world :)
