Did you get two confirmation mails and two charges on your creditcard? If not, you'd better mail info at lowlands dot nl to verify all of your tickets are valid first.

No.  No one can say  

I wouldn't put much faith in the 14 day forecasts.  Today, Accuweather is saying 0 mm rain on the Friday/Saturday and 1mm on Sunday.  Buienradar says 2, 1 and 2mm.  Weeronline says 4mm, 9mm and 6mm.  Maybe they'll come to some kind of consensus next week....

The campsites and most of the festival area drains pretty well so a few mm of rain shouldn't cause a mudbath, but I'd check up on the forecasts next week.

First in the queue eh  

In 2006 there was 20mm of rain on both the Saturday and Sunday, and although there were some gnarly mud slides around the Alpha tent, most of the festival area was walkable and the camp sites were okay as long as you hadn't  pitched tent in a hollow.

I think the few mm of rain predicted per day this year should be fine.  And boots might hinder my crazy dancing stylee....
