HEADBANGERS OPEN AIR HEADBANGERS OPEN AIR HEADBANGERS OPEN AIR FESTIVAL takes place in a farmer's field in a small rural part of Germany. HOA is called "the biggest garden party of the world". It takes place in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, near Elmshorn (40 km away from Hamburg). The venue is the yard of a burnt down and restored farm in the middle of nowhere, where the organizer opens his garden every year again for the (at least in the spirit) long-haired metal-hordes. The band choice at the HOA is diversified - from the legends of the 80s and 90s, to local heroes, insider tips, underground bands and newcomers, who will also get their chance to play here. The only thing missing is expensive "headliners", to keep the entrance-fee as low as possible.
