Traditionally at the beginning of August, after a two-year break, the legendary Wacken Open Air Festival finally takes place in Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to 75,000 fans, there are also prominent faces away from the stage this time. Axel Milberg and Almila Bargiacik mingle with the music-loving people. However, the actor and his colleague don’t come to headbang, but to work.

Together with the production team, the two are shooting the latest episode of the “crime scene” in Kiel, as reported by the Norddeutsche Rundfunk. The episode is called “Tatort: ??Borowski and the innocent child from Wacken”, the festival will be the finale of the Sunday crime thriller.

It is about a dead baby found in a parking lot near Kiel and the search for the mother. An entry wristband for the heavy metal festival in Wacken finally leads Klaus Borowski (Milberg) and Mila Sahin (Bagriacik) to the town. This episode of the popular crime series is scheduled to air in 2023. It will be filmed in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg until August 5th.

Wacken itself takes place from August 4th to 6th and already has its own tourism sign on Autobahn 23 at the Schenefeld exit. Among others, performances by In Extremo, Judas Priest, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot are planned. A show by Rammstein singer Till Lindemanns was originally planned, but had to be canceled for logistical reasons.
