Experiential & Event Marketing Market: Cosmos Direkt Hosts First Wedding on Wacken Main Stage
Cosmos Direkt, a Generali subsidiary, is organizing the first official wedding held on the main stage of the Wacken Open Air festival. The insurer, sponsor of Wacken since 2025, runs the 'Cosmic Love Ground' activation after debuting last year with a 'Relax-Zone'. More than 200 couples applied via social media; a jury selected a winning couple who receive a Nightliner, up to 18 guest invitations, pit tickets in front of the main stage and catering. The ceremony will take place on the festival's 'Holy Ground' main stage before the infield opens. Cosmos Direkt will also run a sponsor area near the Louder Stage offering entertainment, community activations, giveaways, free drinking water and surprise interactions themed around love.
A notable brand activation and sponsorship example in experiential marketing that illustrates creative festival-based activations, but it is not industry-shifting for AdTech/MarTech.
