We are very happy to announce that Danko Jones will do a spoken word performance at next year’s Wacken Open Air which takes place the first weekend in August. Below are a few words from Danko about the event.
It’s been 7 years since I’ve stepped onstage to do Spoken Word. In that time I’ve wondered what there was worth speaking about. I’m stepping on the Wacken stage to talk about my one burning passion that has consumed me for my entire life. Come and listen to my confession.
