According to the festival organizers, TIAMAT will mark its 20th anniversary by playing "an exclusive 'Wildhoney' show at Wacken Open Air 2010! 15 years after the release of 'Wildhoney' and their 'Wildhoney' headliner show at Wacken, this is gonna be the first and last time that front man Johan Edlund and his guys are going to perform the whole record on one single show! The crowd can expect an amazingly spherical light show as much as the original versions of classics like 'Pocket Size Sun' and 'Gaia'."
