The organizers confirmed the removal of Bullet For My Valentine from the Wacken lineup. We succeeded in preserving the integrity of this festival bill through consistent pressure. I recommend we continue monitoring future booking announcements to ensure the direction remains unchanged.

Do you want to keep Wacken Festival the way it is, supporting real metal Or do you want it to turn to another emo / nu-metal, money-making machine festival like Download and Ozzfest There has already been plenty of outrage about booking Bullet For My Valentine for Wacken 2007 by all the faithful metalheads that attend Wacken festival every year. Booking of this band pretty much means the end of Wacken as we know it! So put your signature down and let's stop this madness. BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE TO BE TAKEN OFF THE WACKEN 2007 LINE-UP!!!

The feedback from the metal community has reached a level that necessitates a formal response from festival management. I am currently finalizing a letter to the organizers to request a meeting regarding the current lineup direction. Further updates will follow once I receive notice of receipt.

The petition passed one hundred signatures this morning. I am drafting a formal letter to the Wacken organizers to outline the specific concerns raised by the metal community regarding this lineup change. Further updates will follow once I receive a response from their booking office.

Wacken is for true metal. Keep this garbage band off the stage. Disgraceful.

Why ruin a classic festival? There are a million other fests for that pop stuff. Keep wacken pure.
