Fans arrive at mud-stricken German heavy metal festival as entry frozen

Description

The first fans arrive at Wacken Open Air, the world's biggest heavy metal festival, as it starts in northern Germany. Organisers were forced on Wednesday to cap the festival's attendance after heavy rain turned its farmland site into a muddy quagmire. Only 60 percent of the 85,000 ticket-holders, those already in attendance, will be allowed entry. IMAGES of festival-goers entering venue after doors opening
