Seriously. Through the fucking floor.

Why?

Swashbuckle is playing Wacken. (article in German, man up and learn the lingo)

Before this point, the Medieval stage (and the entire Medieval Village, for that matter) was completely useless and a prime argument that the festival had jumped the shark. Now, as long as they're not playing against anyone of ocean-crossing draw power, I have to go there. Even if it's the smallest and newest of the stages, this is three years removed from playing dive bars on the East Coast out of a van. Actually, they're probably playing Europe out of a van, too, and will be cussing when they get there that they're tied up for the week because there's only one usually-closed-for-festival road going through Wacken, but still.
