Organizers of this year's edition of the Wacken Open Air festival, scheduled for August 5th - 7th in Wacken, Germany, has issued the following update:

"Established in the last year, we will offer the USB Festival sticks again at the Wacken Open Air 2010

Together with our partner Simpfy Live, Germany's reference online market leader in live records, we will bring you the records of your favorite Wacken concerts directly to USB!

Directly after recording, the shows will be uploaded and offered for purchased on the festival grounds at the “simpfy live” stands. The sticks will be available in the typical W:O:A stile either as Metal Edition Silver or as a Premium Edition Gold.

For all metal heads missing the opportunity to get a ticket or those who have to stay at home for other reasons, we offer the possibility to reorder the sticks at Simfylive.de or to directly download the live records."
