Will Akron send the champions to Germany? Make sure you follow the battle and find out who will represent the USA with pride in the battle at Wacken Open Air!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the last 4 years of battles (2017-2019, 2022), Wacken Metal Battle USA<\/strong> has hosted battles across the country to send one independent metal band to perform at the world\u2019s largest metal festival Wacken Open Air<\/strong> in Wacken, Germany. 2019 saw the festival celebrate its 30th anniversary, but due to Covid, the 2020 and 2021 editions were both canceled.

The 2023 event is already sold out with a line-up that includes Iron Maiden, Megadeth, The Dropkick Murphys, Wardruna, Jinjer, Beartooth, Trivium, Kataklysm and many more.
