Heaven Shall Burn are going on their Heimat Over Europe Tour in early 2026, and you have the chance to experience their new songs live! But this time, not just with an ordinary ticket. This time, you can also pay with your blood. Meaning: a blood donation in exchange for a concert ticket.
The project “Pay With Your Blood” from Wacken Open Air is taking place for the second time starting in September – this time in partnership with Heaven Shall Burn. All information about the upcoming European tour can be found in our article.

Info on the procedure: Locations & dates
Starting September 13th, you’ll have the opportunity to go to a standard full-blood donation at one of eight participating locations. The locations will be announced shortly. In return, you’ll receive a ticket for a concert of Heaven Shall Burn’s "Heimat Over Europe Tour" – as long as the project’s ticket quota lasts.
Additional note: Anyone with a W:O:A blood donation pass will also get a stamp there. You can find all information about the W:O:A blood donation pass here: www.wacken.com/de/community/woa-blutspende

Heaven Shall Burn are of course no surprising partner for a project with so much heart and soul. W:O:A also writes about the band’s strong commitment:
“Winning Heaven Shall Burn as patrons for ‘Pay with Your Blood’ means a lot to Wacken Open Air founders Thomas Jensen and Holger Hübner, as the band has been committed to social projects for years and, due to their professional background, fits the concept particularly well. The guys from Heaven Shall Burn are involved with heart and soul – especially frontman Marcus Bischoff, who works as a trained nurse in an intensive care unit in Thuringia and knows exactly how important blood donations are.”
