Ska-P is great, nick cave watchable, ting ting meh, ? for the rest.

[sheroman]

Will there be many more bands added....bigger acts like?

[Squig]

There will be more abnds (70-80 in total), dunno about bigger acts. Looks like Die Ärzte, KoL and Nick Cave will be headlining, and Kraftwerk and Moby are likely to headline the 2nd stage. Fettes Brot will play before Die Ärzte, Franz Ferdinand could be the 2nd Blue (2nd) Stage headliner. That leaves 1 blue stage Headliner and two coheadliners for the green (big) stage.

We'll see. I still hope for Nine Inch Nails or the Cure coming and Nick Cave not being Headliner.

[Createur]

There will only be 60 bands in total +  a few contest-winning bands no one ever has heard of.
Nick Cave is headlining, no doubt about it, as are Die Ärzte and Kings of Leon.

Rumors are: Death Cab for Cutie, The Streets, The Thermals, The Flaming Lips...

[sheroman]

Ah jesus, dats a bit shite tbh!! hopefully there'l be better bands than dat added, ah well......the cure wud be good tho !!

[Azzabaijan]

Hurricane is seeming a bit lackluster compared to last year. Radiohead, Foo Fighters.

It still pisses me off that every festival is getting Kings of Leon to headline.

[Squig]

Agreed about KoL. Die Ärzte are bigger than the Beatsteaks though... Just seems like there really isn't much on the market for that time. And bands like Moby or Kraftwerk are quite rarely seen, at least in Germany, so they are still making some of it I think.

[Azzabaijan]

Could have gone some Nine Inch Nails to headline. It does seem hard for Hurricane, all the bands that are on Rock am Ring are basically cancelled out.

But I guess different tastes for different people.

This has got an amazing line up

I really want to go but can't figure out where to buy tickets from, or even if there are any left. Most of the official sites I look at are all in German. Can anyone recommend where to go??

Hey,

the international tickets are sold at:

http://www.getgo.de/...=...&key=281062
http://www.getgo.de/...=...&key=281093

Furthermore you can try to buy it via Ticketmaster. Just search for "Hurricane Festival" (Southside isn't featured for some reason). You will get to Katy Perry's (God knows why) gig at the Hurricane Festival.

http://www.ticketmas...mp;minorcatid=0

And there are tickets left, the organisator announced that the ticket sales runs "as always". Last year tickets sold out on the festival's friday (70,000 tickets sold, no day tickets). But this guess was made before Faith No More, Nick Cave and Kraftwerk were announced, so it would be better to buy your tickets as fast as you can, in order to avoid frustration.

Cheers

Powderfinger: is that an official poster? Brand New is way to far up, fettes Brot too down.
