Wacken Winter Nights (WWN), a three-day Folk and Medieval open-air festival, took place for the first time in February 2017 at temperatures of -2 to -6 degrees Celsius in Wacken.
With over 3,500 attendees, the festival's first edition sold out several weeks in advance.
Most of them spent the nights on the camping site.
A second edition took place from 23 to 25 February 2018.
Due to the construction on the previous year's campground, the overnight accommodations were relocated to the area that is also used for the regular Open Air.
The walking distance, therefore, increased to about 15 minutes.
With 4,000 visitors, the 2018 event also sold out.
For the third event in 2019, the festival grounds were expanded considerably and 5,000 visitors attended.
The fourth WWNs are planned for the 14th to 16 February 2020.
