Hey guys really thinking about doing PJ @ Arras Main Sq next summer cos I won't be able to buy Hyde Park tickets when they go on sale on Friday and the Arras gig is the same weekend as my girl's 21st birthday.

Has anyone been to this in the past?

Current line-up (I'll update when announcements are made)

Friday: TBC

Saturday: Pearl Jam

Sunday: Rammstein, Pink

There's still the first night to announce. Not sure about the site with it being in the middle of the town centre but the Wiki page mentions something about increasing the capacity to 40k.

I'm driving down from Newcastle so far, getting the ferry over. Looks like camping for me, hotels seem too expensive.

I thought so, when you think itll be announced? yeah i heard...will it be on grass?!?! if on the pavement, itll be too dangerous and a hazard...yeah im camping too, but alone eep trying to meet friends! im going straight from glasto to France

It's in the main square, on cobbles. Hotels aren't in great numbers I believe. There is an Ibis one block away from the main entrance on Rue De La Taillere, and for a more upmarket one there is a Golf Hotel around 10 mins cab ride away that's pretty good.

It shouldnt be too bad. Unless you're crowdsurfing.
