Wacken, Germany.
Population: 2110
Home to one of the biggest metal festivals in the world with something between 70k and 120k people. I think Tickets are limited to 70k currently but the whole area is bascially transformed for a week
Wacken? Ist schon vorbei, du Spassti!
What's more well known around the world, Wacken or Rammstein? Because Wacken is smaller than Ramstein and would be the better answer but my guess is that Rammstein are more known.
Rammstein is not a town though, Ramstein(-Miesenbach) is.
I think a good chunk of US american military folks are familiar with Ramstein air base, less so Ramstein-Miesenbach. Internationally I'd imagine even less of either.
Even plenty Rammstein (band) fans aren't familiar with the origin of the name, nor the town near the airbase :)
I'd comfortably take a bet that Wacken rings more bells around the globe.
