You’re never too old to rock out.

Two elderly German men proved this to be true when they snuck out of their nursing home to attend the Wacken Open Air music festival, which is considered the biggest heavy metal festival in the world.

Police finally found the two headbangers 25 miles from their nursing home at the music festival at about 3 a.m. where Merle Neufeld, a police spokesperson, told German outlet Deutsche Welle they were “disoriented and dazed.”

The release mentioned the two men were, however, “reluctant to go home.”

Some of the bands performing at the festival this year include Judas Priest, Arch Enemy, Cannibal Corpse and Die from Sorrow.

The Twitter account for the Wacken Open Air said it didn’t discriminate against seniors when a fan alerted them to the news.

“#translationtime “Assisted wacken. No discrimination of seniors.” Of course not, we might add. Because you’re never too old [to] rock out #wacken #metalfamily #respect #buildingbridges,” the tweet read.
