WACKEN, Germany – Wacken Open Air is the largest heavy metal festival in the world. Since 1990, thousands of people from around the globe have traveled to the small village in Northern Germany to rage and mosh and headbang.

But apparently, some metal fans prefer to enjoy their death growls and primal screams from the comforts of a couch. Concertgoers actually bring couches to the festival. The problem is, they leave them behind when they go.
