		</div><p>A heavy metal music festival in Germany has banned rucksacks and bags from the main grounds this year for security reasons, organisers said.</p>
<p>Wacken Open Air festival spokeswoman Anna Lorenz said that checking rucksacks would slow security checks too much.</p>
<p>Safety concerns have increased at public events across Germany since a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a music festival in Ansbach last month, injuring 15 people.</p>
<p>Festival-goers will be able to take in waist packs, and larger bags are still allowed at camping sites nearby.</p>
<p>The August 4-6 festival, held in a small village north west of Hamburg, is expected to draw 75,000 people this year.</p>
<p>The 120-plus acts include Iron Maiden, Saxon and Blind Guardian.</p>
