There is probably no band that does not dream of playing at the biggest festival in the metal world. Krokus, the legendary Swiss rock troupe, rocked there for the second time in August 2019; this time on the main stage. It came together what belonged together and the guys, who have played over 2000 concerts worldwide in their 46-year career, experienced one of of their strongest moments ever. Setlist: "Headhunter", "Long Stick Goes Boom" (with 'Pinball Wizard' by The Who snippet), "American Woman" (The Guess Who cover), "Hellraiser", "Winning Man", "Hoodoo Woman", "Fire", "Bedside Radio", "Rockin' in the Free World" (Neil Young cover), "Eat the Rich", "Easy Rocker", "Heatstrokes", "Drum Solo", "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"

Krokus are the Swiss answer to classic stadium hard rock: massive, melodic, and razor-sharp. Since the mid-70s, they've delivered anthems like "Headhunter," "Screaming in the Night," and "Midnite Maniac," which have lost none of their brilliance decades later. With over 15 million albums sold and international stadium appearances, they're among the most consistent acts in the scene. At Wacken, Krokus demonstrate that rock can work without frills. Pure energy, honest riffs, and songs that immediately stick in your head: robust, charismatic, and a piece of music history in every note.
